Redesigned!

For whatever the hell that’s worth.

If you’re out there in RSS land, take a jaunt back to the site for a minute to gander at the new look. Some of your favorite stars of the stage randomly grace the header now. But we’re still here, and we’re still pink.

Also, there’s support for Gravatars in the comments now, so go get yours!

Welcome back or: What the hell happened to my wordpress theme?

well, comments keep flooding in — mostly in spammy waves but sometimes just loaded down with hate — thanks to some high-profile links to me that still exist. So what to do? Revive, of course. Unfortunately, I look about as professional as a 12-year-old metalhead that my commenters love to accuse me of being, standing here with all my website’s clothes off. Not sure what happened, but I suppose it’s the perfect opportunity for a new design. Stay glued to your seat (I know you are).

In the future, I plan to focus even less on news (especially since Ryan is not here anymore to follow Gary Glitter, apparently someone pays him for that nowadays) and less on current indie happenings (there are plenty of places to go for that, that I have so often been informed, I am not), and more on parentheses (yep) and records that I hear, as I hear them.

In fact, here’s the disclaimer: I still don’t like Dino Jr. or Jane’s Addiction for that matter, a fact that most people my age seem to find incredibly baffling. But other than that, I like most stuff. But interesting writing and reading doesn’t come from that. It comes from the weird, the goofy, and the just plain shitty! So I’ll look for that too.

Edit: Hey it’s back! But maybe we’ll get a new design anyway.

Back Again

Been out of commission for a while, but I’m back on track. And I decided to trash the well-organized front page, etc, and get right back into the “blog” style. That keeps me from having to be formal about posting.

Conversion

I’m finally getting around to converting my old posts from the od WordPress Markdown extension to the regular HTML that’s output by the editor in WordPress 2.0. If your eyes just blurred, what that means is the formatting on old posts is gonna look like crap for a while.
