You may have noticed that things look a little different. A little strange. Sidebars don't work quite as before. Fonts are smoother.
For a new year, it was time to roll out a new daily babble. Any comments that you have would be appreciated, both for things that used to work and things that you think could work (or look, or behave) better.
Welcome to 2005.
Welcome to 2.0.
I have enabled all the various comment moderation and braking systems endemic to the new version of Movable Type and MT-Blacklist, so hopefully the days of bursts of comment spam that I dutifully would then purge are over. I check my email quite often, so please don't be dissuaded from commenting because at times it will not appear immediately — rest assured I'll have approved it most likely within hours (or less).
I also hope to be leveraging some of the new extensibility of this version of Movable Type to add more features and goodies as time and inspiration allows.
I've been having a couple of problems with the DSL that feeds the new server lately, but I think that it's safer overall this way than having it on a server that's all the way across the country and is subject to more environmental variables than I even care to think about.
So, again, welcome to daily babble 2.0. I hope you enjoy the evolution.

Daily Babble 2.0 looks great in MSIE and in Safari. It looks like crap in OmniWeb 5.1. It looks bad enough that I can't actually read it in that browser, mostly due to the low contrast between your background color and the black typeface that OW uses for rendering the text.
I guess I will fire up Safari every couple of days in order to keep caught up with you. (Also, when I tried to sign in with my TypeKey identity, the TypeKey page told me that the site I want to comment on "has not signed up for this feature" and that I should let them know. Consider yourself advised.
And best wishes for 2005.

I like the subtle changes! Much more modern.

Thanks for the call about TypeKey; I hadn't changed the URL from the beta site to production in the TypeKey config, causing the error you found.
That has been resolved.
As for the black typeface: I had that problem in Safari for a bit as it steadfastly refused to give up the cached CSS from the old site while loading the new HTML. It took me a few quit/shift-reload passes, but eventually it settled down.
Thank you for the feedback!

Hey cool. Flushing my cache fixed the problem. Mind you, I hate the after-effects of flushing my cache, so I wouldn't do it for just anyone......
