So did you know!

Blogger has started making a new version of its site available to people setting up new blogs. This "New Blogger" (also known as Dano) actually works in all browsers. It doesn't work the same in all browsers -- if you're using something other than Internet Explorer or a Mozilla-based browser (that includes Netscape), it comes up with a "lo-fi" interface -- but it does actually work with no weird bugs. It's pretty nice. I actually don't think the more advanced interface has much advantage over the lo-fi, so I'll be happy once they start allowing people to migrate in a week or two and I can update this site in Safari nearly painlessly.

What else?

I updated my poli sci prof pages site with two new projects. The one for Karen Alter looks pretty much like Ian Hurd's but less complex. The one for Michael Loriaux is spiffy, though -- I got all experimental in my HTML and came up with something different with a minimum of frustration.

I currently have about an hour and a half in which to throw together a report on the role of Gypsies in gothic literature. I want a vacation.
