The menu on the right of this blog was driving me nuts. I like a menu that screams menu – not a vague, dreamy-looking list. So I took the time to clean it up and do a bit of other blog housekeeping.

Here’s what else is new and different:

  • A Best Posts page – arranging the more substantial entries into large groups.
  • A Welcome page for newcomers to the site.
  • A Contact page. I was tired when I added it last night and briefly had it as a post. Apologies if some of your news readers picked it up.
  • A subscribe by email feature.
  • Google Analytics is now embedded in the footer of most pages. Soon I should be able to answer Philocrites’ query.
  • The Flash header has been replaced by a .gif file. (I was starting to tire of the butterfly.)
  • And speaking of the .gif, a good friend and extraordinary graphic artist recently did a cartoon of me, which is now in the header graphic. Many thanks to her for her generosity with her talent.
