Hey, Shakers. Space Cowboy and I have finally finished the new template, and I'm going to be making the switch this afternoon. As with any update, there will be some glitches and bumps—you'll see some things getting republished (like the Contributors page), and there may be some interruptions in your ability to comment—so please bear with us.
But once we get everything on track, we will have author pix again, and I've finally finished the Shaxicon, which will be linkable from the navbar, as will a new and improved Comments Policy and a freshly updated Feminism 101 page.
As always, we have Space Cowboy to thank for doing all the coding and trouble-shooting to make this happen. Thanks, Space Cowboy!!!
UPDATE: We know comments aren't showing up. We're working on it.
UPDATE 2: A word on the new design: The header image, which is a collection of vintage typewriter keys, references a couple of things. The obvious is the metaphor for new media and technologies. The other is that I simply have a peculiar little adoration for old typewriter keys—my keychain is an old "M" key—and, much to friends' amusement, I have a habit of referring to any keyboard as a "typewriter." When Iain got a new phone recently, KBlogz and I were checking it out, and I sniffed, "I like the typewriter on mine better," sending Iain and KBlogz into gales of laughter.
UPDATE 3: Comments should be working now. And the number of comments is once again showing in IE. Woot!
