More changes: removed the calendar (I received a lot of feedback that many visitors who aren’t weblog afficianados didn’t realize it was an archive of past posts) and replaced with a Radio macro that generates a list of the last 10 posts to the site.

Nothing earth-shattering, but I’m starting to play with the presentation of the site a bit. Your comments are welcome. Changed so far: added navigation bar at top, removed Google “related sites” box, changed “currently subscribed to:” list of weblogs to an edited list of weblogs that I think are most relevant to people who’ll be…
