All Apologies.

You may have noticed more growing pains. I’ve wanted to switch from a two-column to a three-column layout for some time now. I can fit more info, but I’ll have to move away from the minimalist, airy look I prefer. I’m doing patch jobs on the live site while I work off-line on a brand new design and layout. It may take a few months to get through all of this. Expect ugliness and occasional brokeness, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Also, I haven’t written much about my church and sacred site visits for the past few months. Much of this is out of respect for Jana’s privacy (you may know her better as pilgrimgirl), since our paths have recently converged, and I’ve spent much of the summer and fall following her lead and trying to be supportive of her journey. I say this for the benefit of those of you who are interested in my OC Pilgrimage (they’re among my most popular posts). I will begin the visits again soon. What’s more, I will probably cross-post some of Jana’s journeys as she writes about them on her blog. Her path has been an inspiration to me, and we may both reflect on our interactions with the LDS Church, so there should be things of interest to those of you struggling along in your own journeys. Stay tuned!

    Hey – I really like the right sidebar! Putting those new comment links in the most readable spot on the page is a great idea. The recent comments section is where I look first when I visit because I love the discussion almost as much as I love the posts. If my site gets more discussion going (it already has a lot more than I ever dreamed it would) I’ll have to design a similar thing.

    ditto: they’re the first I read…my browser window is so small, though, that I have to scroll back & forth. but I think I’m in the minority in terms of browser size (I allow it only about 75% of my screen, so I can see other apps behind it).

    I guess I’m spoiled. I have a 24″ flat panel monitor that displays at 1920×1200… and that’s just my main working monitor. My side monitor is a nice 17″ widescreen that displays that the same res. I only allow my browser to take up 50% :)
