NoFollow
For those of you who blog, be sure to check out the new NoFollow ref tag attribute for comment links (Bryant has a good write-up).
Basically it allows you to specify which links should be indexed by search engines. One of the reasons for comment spam, is that the more sites that link to the spammer's site (though comments left by spammer scripts), the better ranking it gets in search engines. This new tag will take away the incentive to leave spam comments (although the effects probably won't be felt for a while).
The Movable Type plugin installed seamlessly, and while I was installing it, I decided to do a little cleanup of the site. I've been fixing dead links to archived posts (a long overdue job), but still have about 20 posts to go. Next, fix the broken image links.
Isn't my life exciting?

What about the re-design? I hear some nice fellow worked quite hard one Saturday to come up with a purdy-lookin design for you...
