Keeping old promises
I know I said I'd be spangling a brand new spangly look over the site, and I fully intend to. But before finishing that I tried to get a friend or two to read this, realising that it could be another month before the look of this place changes. So, some small sprucing has taken place to relieve the original template's austerity.
Some handy tips for my own future reference as much as anyone else's:
- The cartoon image of what I fondly imagine I look like comes from Portrait Illustration Maker, and my eyes are unfortunately not that piercing shade of blue.
- The best site-tracking utility I've found (to work out if anybody actually visits this place at all at all) is StatCounter. They give better results than every server-hosted reporting tools I've seen, and they don't require you to display their logo on your site. And they require absolutely no money for the privilege.
- The email-obscuring code (to foil those evil spambots) is courtesy of the Automatic Enkoderform.

Yes, with those piercing blue eyes you do not unresemble Neal McDonough, whose eyes shine like Satan’s, except they’re blue rather than red so he must be an angel. I swear, it’s scary.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
