The visually unpleasant nature of my website, which persisted until today, bothered me so much that I decided to take it upon myself to improve the aesthetics of my website at whatever cost. So, after struggling with my poor computer, I managed to crank out the rather lovely piece of work now on display. Hopefully, it looks better than the rather drab default template.

This new design is still in its infancy, so many more changes will doubtlessly take place in the coming days as I continue to tweak the design. However, due to the decaying nature of my computer, most of the other pages, in addition to the other portions of Kibeland, will have to wait until I swap hardware.

My upgrade to MovableType 3.3 has also allowed me to add tagging (as popularized by flickr) to my humble blog. Armed with this nifty new nugget and some clever logic on my part, the tagging system not only allows for a listing of the most popular subjects on my blog, but also provides a visual representation of the subjects' popularity. At the moment, the tags box (on the right of every page) is sparsely populated, and does not provide a terribly accurate visual representation of subjects' popularity. However, as I continue to both write and tag, this should become much more accurate and prove a useful tool.
