Like, approximately?

For editorial intent and the eschatonic name choice, see “Why the Jackpot?,” then “On Blogging” for the state of the blogosphere and its continued relevance, and then “On This Blog” for visual design, editorial design, and the software used (Drupal).

See the table below for other current posts on functionality and administrivia, which is updated as I go along: adding module functionality, site tweaks, moderation issues, and so forth.

I think I called myself Tulliver (a sir name from a George Elliot novel) when I commented the other day, because that was how I’d registered, but my subsequent attempt to login didn’t work, so I’m thinking during some of your maintenance, you may have removed my registration—or maybe because I haven’t visited in several months. I will try registering again and probably be more conventional about it. Best, Tracie

Will the Table of changes be a permanent part of this page? I like it.

If you keep it, then we can peek in here now and then to see if something particularly interesting or useful has developed….
