Added Easy Gravatars
Temporarily switching from the Comvatar comment icon to Gravatar via the Easy Gravatar 1.1 plugin. One nice thing about Gravatar is you can keep your icon across any blog that is Gravatar enabled. The downside is few people have one registered (register one!). I’ll see how it goes for a couple of weeks before deciding [...]
Whoops Darn Hosting Bills
I forgot to update my billing information with my host, so the site was down for a little bit. ^^; And while I’m here…I increased the post width and body by 20 pixels. I didn’t notice anything broken in Firefox, but can’t say that for any of the other browsers since I don’t have them [...]
