In keeping with the recent template change, I finally got around to giving the blogroll a thorough update. I got rid of sites that appeared to be dormant and a few that I just don't read anymore, and added a bunch of new favorites. Given that at least one site I linked to had moved to a new location in 2005, I was due.

I decided to try out a new template. The old one is saved in case I don't like this one, but I'll see how it goes. The biggest problem is that I can't figure out how to import the old comments, which were from backblog and not blogger itself. That bothers me, but I wanted to see what kind of newfangled features blogger is offering with its new templates. No one likes a good fangle like I do.

In other news, the raise news came down today, so I'm back off of the horrible message boards. And it was the maximum--which is to say that for doing nothing, I got a raise today that is on par with the highest income I have ever grossed in a calendar year. Drinks are on me tonight.
