All Your Re-Design Are Belong to Us!
I am planning on making some changes to the site's CSS and XHTML code. I am going to try to optimize it a bit more. I was getting sick of the old link colors so I changed it to a cool blue.
I am reading Zeldman's book Designing with Web Standards
Adding a Style Sheet Switcher would allow the viewer to pick a different design of the site and set a cookie to remember your selection.
This would free me to make some wild and far out designs and play it safe by offering the reader a choice.
Cool stuff indeed

Great Jake,
I want so badly to utilize MT - Movable Type's services, but I got a headache going through the instructional & setup phases - trying to set the site up. You think you could offer me some assistance???? I do believe I have installed all the files in various folders on my server, ran into some database errors...
Holla if you can, Thanks in Advance!

Well Sistah have you thought about Typepad instead? It is powered by MT and is super powerfull and easy to use. http://www.typepad.com/
Setting up MT is not an easy task feel free to email me with your problems and I'll see what I can do

I don't like the blue.
And installing MT was quite easy once I got my head around the database part.

Cool, Jake. Are you going for a complete redesign or just a semantic clean-up?
I've got the book too and it should be considered the web standards bible. It inspired me to do a clean-up myself (no visual changes).

My Semantics are pretty close to how I want them. Then I can add skins and mess around with the CSS more. I have been making valid XHTML for over a year now.
I'll put back the red links in one of the style sheets
