Redesign Still In Progress
The visual end of the redesign is complete, which means that although I’m still making changes, you probably won’t notice most of them unless you view source and compare the markup to a previous version. Changes to come in the near future include improved accessibility, syndication feed upgrades, and some PHP magic. Not so near future changes include integration of MT-Search, the cool code by Jay Allen that’s now wrapped nicely into Movable Type.
An unfortunate consequence of the redesign is that I’ve been stricken by the IE6 Scrolling Bug. In September, Jeffrey Zeldman noted that it results from a caching problem and can be fixed using a simple JavaScript function. Soon I’ll include that script to fix the bug, but in the meantime if the text cuts off, we kindly ask that you hit F11 twice or use another browser such as Mozilla.
Update (October 24, 2002): Aaron Boodman replied to my inquiry regarding the JavaScript function. He told me to check the first five lines http://www.alistapart.com/tightmen.js and change “document.all.content” to the document.all.[the name of your content div here]. Works wonderfully. Please let me know if it causes any problems.

Speaking of re-design: have you ever considered linking the big green HOME in the upper left corner to the home page?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve scooted my pointer over to it, thinking it would be a link.

Yes, I have. When HOME was on right side of the page, it wasn’t linked, but since moving it to the left side, it seems natural to have it linked to the homepage. It doesn’t hurt to have it linked either. Thanks for the suggestion, Brad.

He did it and so did he. He thinks it’s a (good) trend. I’m doing it because I can.
