Blog Redesign

The VS blog redesign is now live. I've been tinkering with it off and on in the background for a while. There are some drawbacks to the latest Blogger layout interface, but it's much easier to share posts and scroll through category archives.

Recreating my blogroll took some time. Regular readers and commenters should find themselves included. If you're not, and you'd like to be, shoot me an e-mail or leave a comment. I did trim some folks who retired, took their blogs private, or haven't posted in a long time (say, six months or more). Folks who come out of retirement are also welcome to contact me to be restored... not that, um, being on my blogroll will give you much traffic, but most people like the shout-out.

I haven't been able to write much this year. (Perhaps I should also turn more of the long comments I leave elsewhere into posts here.) Regardless, I prefer to post occasionally than retire and un-retire endlessly. Other blogs have breaking news covered very well, so I prefer posting long form pieces when I can, along with the odd short piece. Anyway, I'll probably tinker with the site more, but the basic functionality should be good to go. Happy blogging and reading.
