Thanks Buck – ran all the test on a test site. Tested no less than fifty-four different themes over the past two months which is why when I stumbled across the Looney Tunes cartoon above, it seemed so, well, right. And don’t even get me started on the whole “it looks good in Firefox but not MS IE…” meme….

Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More

Happy New Year…and… I like the new look, SJS. I hope creating it wasn’t too, too painful…but I get the feeling it might have been just that.
Now to see if the page loads quicker!
(I’ve never mentioned that before, figuring you were well aware of the time it takes to load pages around here.)

It does look nice and crisp. I think I feel your pain in the FF/IE entertainment value from prior experiences.
Still debating on the move to 2.3.x…as they discuss 2.4 arond the corner…getting as bad as MS/Intel/AMD/whoever…..
BTW…did I get on “the list?” I scanned the sidebar and can’t find me….
And..Happy New Year! It’s cold here, so I suspect it’s colder there (without bothering to pull up a weax map)…
OK, I now feel officially stupid…I guess I missed my Tag line “name.”
I never went back and fixed that on the “Options” page from when I thought I followed the directions for data entry at set up…
Not to worry — I fixed it
