That time again (aka "That Funky TBR II")

With a 4-day weekend at hand, you may see some strange stuff from the site, as I try again to fix various problems and update the templates. We will return to our regularly-scheduled lethargy shortly. :-)

UPDATE (Saturday 2:25pm): IE sucks.

UPDATE II (Saturday 9:45pm): If Microsoft made vacuum cleaners, David Oreck would be out of a job.

UPDATE III (Sunday 11:08pm): Have I mentioned that IE sucks like a newborn hippo on his mother's teat?

UPDATE IV (Monday 3:47am): Good news: front page looks to be done. Bad news: the rest of the site is still hosed. Let me know what you think of the layout so far.

UPDATE V (Monday 6:42pm): Individual entry pages are mostly rebuilt, but there's a bug somewhere preventing the TypeKey login from appearing. I've put in a support tickey at SixApart, so meanwhile I'll work on the Monthly and Category Archive pages, and the Search templates.

UPDATE VI (Monday 8:51pm): TypeKey login is now fixed.

UPDATE VII (Tuesday 6:53pm): Monthly and Category Archive pages are done, including a new Category page for Recommended Reading that includes an automated phrase explaining that each entry is "Recommended Reading", instead of showing a bare link. The code used on this page is also seen on the Individual Entry pages for those posts, as well as on the Monthly Archive pages.

Also, a bug was found and corrected in the Recent Comments block on the front page, which was preventing links from anchoring directly to the respective comments.

Next - and hopefully last - I've got to check the System modules for things like Comment Preview and Trackback Listing, and modify anything that's broken. Beyond that, I've just got a lot of cleanup of back entries that I've been putting off for a long time. It's necessary but not system-related, so it'll get fixed when I get to it.

UPDATE VIII (Tuesday 9:52pm): Done! Please let me know if you see anything broken or out of place.
