As you may have noticed, I have upgraded this site to the latest stable Wordpress release - 1.5 Strayhorn. I have reduced the number of plugins I use, since many features are now standard. It really increases useablility for me, and I hope for you too
Some changes:

• The plugin that I was using for the "Friend's Only" section is not compatible with 1.5, with no further plans for development. So I have switched to another solution. The only differences that end users will see are: a new little icon (a la LiveJournal), a "Please login to see this post" message to notify you that a new "Friend's Only" post exists on both the main page and the RSS feeds. (to alert those using LJ syndication.) Also, there are now multiple levels of "Friend's," so if you want to read some of the non-public stuff, go ahead and register (even if I don't know you personally), and I will upgrade your account to a Level 1 Friend. Of course the juicy stuff doesn't come until at least Level 2
• Email notification of new comments on posts is also temporarily disabled, as the script is not yet supported. I will try and get it back up and running, but in the meantime, you'll just have to check the site occasionally. Fixed - let me know if you have any problems.
• The Google Ads are gone — The return wasn't as great as I hoped, and they just plain annoyed me, so I took them down.

As always, if you notice anything amiss, please [1] contact me.
