dunstin's site has a new web2.0 looking logo this year. so that your site isn't as ugly as last year. it's not really important, though. the whole concept is still

self serving, confusing and disenfranchising to users

so no, i'm still not doing it.

standards are nothing if they're not also best practices.

obviously not something i adhere to. but if you wanted to write something important, it would be a good rule.

I don't know that the Custom CSS upgrade is actually necessary. I hope not, background-color:teal; is really ugly, so i changed it.

Kudos to MyBlogLog. they're pulling the same trick as feedburner's feedflare, calling images that are actually generated on the fly. It's a much better solution than javascript. the more companies that realize this, and starting running GD scripts in order to appeal to the myspace crowd, the less whining from people like scoble about wordpress.com's perfectly valid security settings.

i have yet to see whether it works, though. I don't know if i should have the community pointed at sbk.wp.com, or sbk.archgfx.net.
