After an extended search I finally found a .com domain name that I both wanted and wouldn't have to pay an overinflated price for from some dodgy `search service`.



I've always been sure that nothing less than a .com would do.
I'm not a .org kind of person(far too warm and fuzzy) and I still think that using .net for general purpose sites is misuse. And let's not even mention .ws or *shudder* .tv

It has taken some time to get the CSS just right[1] and I suppose I should cite all the sites that I harvested images and styles from...
Know that if you use IE you might get one of those stupid 'active content' warnings.
This is not due to spyware/malware/ActiveX - that'll come later.
It's because the transparency on the red div below the header image is done as follows:

filter: alpha(opacity=50);
opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity: 0.5;

Basically IE lets you specify filters to apply to nodes, but spits out an ugly warning (depending on your security settings) before it does anything with it - yuck.

I'm in the process of moving this blog there and will be moving the blogspot archives along with it.
