At long last it is up. Plenty of changes still afoot. There are still some things to be worked out. The archives need to be transferred. I need to update some of the feed sites. I’m sure other things will pop up, and I have some vague notions of some other things I’d like to add to this new place.
First, some acknowledgments. The new design, logo and nearly all the work done is courtesy of my friend Adam Harvey. He does great work, despite being a Domer. If you need some site design, get in touch with him. He took some of my poorly thought out ideas and actually made them look good.
Next, everyone who contributed to make this possible. I wouldn’t have this spiffy new site, my own domain, and 2 years worth of server space on DreamHost (not to mention the nifty laptop) without everyone who responded and helped when I asked begged this past spring. I eagerly await the point when it is claimed that I have jumped the shark.
There’s a new e-mail to reach me. The old one still works, but I am planning to phase it out. The new address is: PittBlather– at — gmail.com
I also have a couple hundred gmail invitations, so if anyone wants one shoot me an e-mail and I’ll send you an invite.
Comments are open, and I hope not to have to worry about moderation or any registration. The only reason that will happen is if the spam kicks up or people abuse the open system.
looking great
Of most sig., is the reduction of noise to the background; it’s a helluva lot easier on old eyes, albeit not quite as exciting as the 1980s Pitt yellow at the blog.spot. Additionally, it doesn’t smack of, nor sport, the puke-pink tint accompanying Doke’s attempt for a “neutral†backdrop. (Of course, for y’uns’ out there quick to take offense, note that none’s been fwd here; no rip on C. Dokish for that matter, et al.)
Once more, good going, Chas.
