New Look for WTS
With Christmas over I’m going to work on a new (tighter) look for WTS. I’m also going to update the software and add a few modules.
Things may be pretty wonky until everything is worked out.
[Update]: So, following the instructions here, I’ve broken all my links, but made the archives into a much more logical and googleable format.
[Update]: Still a LOT of tweaking to do, but will leave it for some other year 
It will end up in 3 columns.

3 columns? it’s such a generic look dude! How about something like 5 or 6 columns — a little more original.
Enjoy the accompanying CSS headaches. And if you are going for the same look in cross browser don’t forget any ugly IE hacks needed.

Well, I like 2 columns best, but I just need more space for links and other stuff. 4+ columns gets a bit crowded…
I’m enjoying the CSS headaches (as you can see). ARG, anyway, I’ve got some ideas for nice additions.

OK, so I’m not enjoying the CSS IE Hacks, can you tell me why it doesn’t look the same as http://glish.com/css/7.asp which works just fine in IE!

Oh it looks like NEMO has gone NUKE on us!!!!!

*nukes, blogs and CMSs have in a way stereo-typed the 3 column (& a header) look. There’s actually nothing that bad about it except that it’s so generic.
As a way of displaying data it does help to divide things up. The trick is doing it artistically and in a way that your data isn’t all cluttered which is typical of the aforementioned content systems.
It seems like nemo is one his way to displaying it artistically — once he gets over that CSS headache of course!

Yes, I’m doing my best, but as you prolly already noticed, I don’t do “artistic” very well.
My main goal was to organize it so that it would be both user and Google friendly. I want to spruce up the individual archive pages, so that there are other links there as well, as from if you come in from google that’s all you’ll see.
