Assorted Afflatuses

As the strange lack of other pages and the generally unfinished look probably indicate, there are some changes going on. The numerous Movable Type upgrades that I have inflicted upon my poor website took their toll, which gummed up the database that stored all of my lovely writing. While you, the end user, may not have noticed anything, I had to deal with painfully slow and somewhat wonky performance, which, among other things, hurt my ability to write.

So, I took action. I gutted all of my databases and installed a brand-new pristine copy of Movable Type. But, of course, something went a little awry. I won't go into the gory details, but it took me all day to put the website in its current state.

Hopefully by sometime tomorrow or Friday everything will be better, with a few visual tweaks (foreshadowed in this wreck) and a new addition. Pardon the hideousness.
