Many thanks to reader Dave Sheridan for some hacks that seem to have helped Mozilla/Gecko users get the sidebar on the side rather than descended into bit hell. I'd never have found that hack myself. The padding around the blogroll now looks like an offset rather than a box-in-box that IE users would see, but that's frankly a lower priority for me than the other fixes. When I get a chance I'll tinker.

I've also decided to use Blogads to try to defray some of the costs of using Hosting Matters for this site rather than Blogspot. Traffic has been good enough here lately that I think advertisers will be attracted; I have not and will not put out a tip jar. Visitors are more than readers -- they're my friends, and I am not one to ask friends for money.
