It appears that I managed to miss my one-year anniversary (technically) of blogging. Way back on 25 October 2003, I shambled into the blogosphere with nary a clue about what I was doing, but a bit of eagerness to get in on this blog thing.

Well, I'm still here, the traffic's still low, and I spent months away from the thing. Enh. In the manner of Eeyore, happy birthday to my blog!

And yes, comments are off until I figure out a way to deal with 800+ comments for some kind of poker and a lot of other worthless stuff that I'd like to send jack-booted thugs to deal with.

Does anyone know how I get the Blogs for Bush auto link list to appear in something other than Times New Roman, other than changing a default font in the browser? The current display doesn't work with my stylistic plan, such as it is.

Meanwhile, restoration work continues.

UPDATE: Listed item fixed. What I don't know about at this point is getting that cursed calendar back into alignment with the rest of the column. Anyone have any advice? Oh and by the way, I've managed to get the Blogshares thing working, after having finally registered and claimed the blog.

Something's come up: I'm trying to arrange my SiteMeter configuration so that each individual entry, the monthly archive, and the category archive are transmitting data. Does the SiteMeter code go in each of those three templates, or does it belong on the "Master Archive Index"?

Thanks!

Yes, it's been nigh on four months since I last updated The Country Pundit. Several things, i.e. the Virginia Bar, moving out from my apartment, relocating several hundred miles away, et cetera, have prevented me from being diligent about this.

Inasmuch as I'm trying a program of "returning to normalcy", I can once again take up a hobby that I'd been teetering upon burn out with. There is, as everyone in the several States knows, an election going on. That being said, I'm past the point of apathy on the election, and I'm not sure how much Bush v. Kerry stuff I'll be posting.

Please bear with me as I return various components of the blog to operational order; there were server issues that I'm vaguely cognizant of, and certain things have to be rebuilt from the ground up. To boot, even my laptop died, so I had to sort of emergency-rig my desktop for heavy Internet service. Bah.

I'm not even sure I'm on the Blogs for Bush blogroll any more. If you've been on my blogroll before, let me know and I'll re-add you.

UPDATE: After a bit of study, it appears that I indeed am no longer on the Blogs for Bush list. Bother!

UPDATE THE SECOND: Interesting. My list shows me as having never left. How's that for loyalty? Talk about a real Republican attribute, eh. On a technical note, how does one get around to changing the font from the Times New Roman-esque font of the Blogs for Bush blogroll to something else?
