For those of you using Internet Exploder, I just fixed a CSS problem that was causing you guys to all see a text only version of the blog.  I know at least half of you are using IE, even though you should be using Firefox :)

You guys should have said something :)   Well, one of you did, but the rest of you must have just though I had spartan taste when I redesigned the layout of the blog.

Goes to Robb Allen:

You know what Kelli~ [Gonzo anti-gun commentator on Brady Blog] and my gun have in common?

They’re both tools.

For that, he deserves a place on the blogroll.

I have finally graduated to B-list status. I did cheat a little, because I was at 99 and needed just a few more links to push me over the 100 mark in Technorati authority, and I knew the Ron Paul aggregators out there would be enough to do it:

Yay! SayUncle is pretty close to A-list status, which is 500 links. Maybe a few posts about Ron Paul can push him over the top too.

Judging from the reaction, everyone seems to like the new theme.  It works better for most people, I think.  I like it as well.  I’ve made a few minor modifications to address some suggestions that hopefully are implemented to everyone’s satisfaction.  Any further suggestions are, of course, welcome.

This is my 1000th post since I started more than six months ago. That either means I’m doing a good job, or I need to shut up, or maybe both! I’m not sure which.

I decided to give the blog a makeover. There are a few reasons for this. For one, I think the old blog look was kind of tough to navigate and read sometimes. For two, the theme was breaking YouTube videos for some people. For three, I was starting to think the old theme was gaudy.

But I am not one to push something on my readers, so if you don’t like the new digs, say something in the comments. I won’t get offended; it’s not really my theme, I just doctored someone else’s. You have a few days to convince me that I should go back to the old theme :) I’ll take few comments as a signal that everyone thinks the new look and format is groovy, or you’re reading me through RSS and could care less. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome, though, I’m an engineer and not a graphic artist, so my ability to implement suggestions may be limited.  There may be some minor adjustments happening in the next few days as well.

I’m playing with some new themes.  If the blog looks weird for a bit, that’s why.  I’m growing kind of tired of the current one, and I’m trying to figure out whether or not there’s anything out there that might look better.

I’ve never done an open thread before, but there’s a first time for everything.  I don’t have much this morning, so I’m hoping you all can give me ideas for something to blog about.

Christina the Stripper, who has guest blogged here in the past, has a new blog called Hustle and Cash Flow. I am told it will mostly be about money. I will add her to the blog roll since she’s was kind enough to guest blog for me. But in what category?

Dr. Helen has a new advice column. Hopefully, I will not be in need of relationship advice from her anytime soon. But I am interested in hearing whether Uncle is crazy.

Some good commentary on the Iraq threads, but I think I’ll stick to gun blogging. Sadly, there’s not much going on the gun topic right now, as things seem to be very quiet. Almost… too… quiet.
