Fun With Wordage

I accidentally turned off my “words of wisdom” on the sidebar of the homepage a few weeks ago… it’s back in all it’s glory, plus a few new quotes.

The vast majority of Internet users are by far peaceful, sharing, and helpful. This especially holds true for the Mozilla Community. Though recently there seems to be a surge in the amount of Trolls parading around, and quite frankly, it needs to stop.
Daniel Glazman had to shut off comments a few months ago. [...]

I put up a new header tonight. Finally retiring the old tiger pattern I had up. This one just struck me. I really have to get around to changing it more often.
It’s based on a photo by the user Zela at stock.xchng.

Like every good master, did a little site maintenance. Well, quite a bit actually. Most shouldn’t be visible (just yet). If you notice any problems let me know. I did correct a few pesky things, but you never know what may come up.

The first round of changes to this blog have landed. Obviously the most prominent is the first design change in about 18 months.
The design isn’t final, there are a dozen or so things that will be changing (some big, some small). There are also some more backend changes to be made, [...]

Not quite 2 years… but it’s pretty cool to see so many people reading!
I’ve got some big things coming up soon. I’ve been working hard for a long time, and I’ll be making [...]

Quick status update on the migration to WordPress:
I’m still tweaking, but the site is coming back. Lots of the rendering quirks should be gone at this time. XHTML validation should work for most pages.

Seems to be quite a few useful plugins. Mobile [...]
