Renovations Redux

More changes to the site's look. I got fairly ambitious in changing the site's layout, and if you looked at it while it was in transition, the result looked pretty weird. But it got better.

I'm actually using a table for the high-level layout, a stylisting no-no among modern webmasters. So sue me; I couldn't get the floated-text layout working the way I wanted.

I'm using a smaller text size (though still your browser's default font). I may switch back if it starts to make me cross-eyed.

I also did away with the calendar. It seemed to me to be a frill I could live without. There is one drawback to that, in that lots of un-highlighted space on the calendar served as a sort of automated nag, to prompt me to post more often. I may put it back if I need the added push.

The one other noteworthy change is the addition of a "Houstonians" section to the links collection, complete with a link to the H-Town Blogs site. I knew that Kevin Whited was a Houstonian, but I didn't know that about Laurence "File 13" Simon, Ted Barlow, and Ginger Stampley. (Ginger's political blog, "What She Really Thinks", sadly is no more; she's even pulled the archives off the net. The link here is to her blog on role-playing games, an interest of mine as well.) Hopefully I'll get to meet some of these people soon.

Let me know what you think, of the new layout or anything else.
