Further technical fussing
Where would I be without my faithful readers? Hosed, to be sure. Today my dear Shannon emailed me with a "what's up with the comments?" heads-up, and I discovered that my filters have been filtering out all my legitimate commenters and letting through only the vicious, ugly spume.
OK, fine, so I fixed that. Your comments are now up, folks, and please accept my very heartfelt apologies for the massive delay and frustration. Whew. This is what we get when artists try to do computer programming. Please do read the post below, as it is fresh, and has nothing to do with my inept attempts to master Movable Type.
