When I put up the last post on the old site template I was irritated by the lack of space. The content area of the layout was way too narrow. Putting up videos has always required resizing.

I had a really slick idea on a new template and even put it to paper. When I went to actually do it, however, I found that while the CSS “standard” has published the capabilities I was looking for, browser technology has not yet brought them to life.

Then I was browsing a few sites and that spurred the wide-screen transition to plan B, which is what you see now.

I will miss the nice shots of Cincinnati for sure and the shadows. You may not have even noticed - but on the old skin, the shot of town was a day shot if you were here during the day, and a night shot if you came after dark. This was even adjusted for daylight savings time.

I wanted to do something neat with this one as well, so the moon up there is in its proper phase and will wax and wane with the real thing.
