When Knitting Was a Manly Art

UPDATE Since nearly all the problems have been resolved, I’m removing the sticky bit to let this drift off the top of the home page.

For the next couple of weeks – until I get all the problems worked out in the new weblog – this will remain at the top of the homepage.

Sidebar problems:

• Bugs in IE 5.x and 6.x are causing problems with the sidebar. If I’m not careful, the sidebar overlaps with the content on the right. Currently fixed – Remove from list unless I hear of other problems..
• Any screen size 800×600 or smaller pushes the sidebar to the bottom of the page. Not resolved.

Internet Search:

• Internet search (i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc) returns results from my old software and links are no longer available. Eventually the old information will age out and good searches will be available from search engines. Search on sidebar does a decent job. Google site searches now work.

RSS feeds

• RSS feeds (Bloglines and other aggregators) have changed due to changed software. Former feed URLs will fail due to WordPress creating feeds dynamically. Most online aggregators are now picking up the right RSS feed URLs

Feather and Fan shawl is coming along nicely. I’ll be working on row 129 this morning. I held it to the window and Eileen shot over my shoulder. Pretty good idea of the look of the pattern.

Dead Spiders.. An unusually colored Columbine with an unusual name. Dead Spider Columbine is a uniformally grey-white colored, spurred columbine. Second year in our garden.
