Yes, I know the site was an utter disaster last week but it’s all fixed now.
There were things I didn’t like about the original background image for the redesigned site that have been bugging me since launch. On computers with high resolution settings, the original image came nowhere close to filling the entire screen and it just looked terrible when viewed on these machines. So last week, I put together a different background image but it ended up just looking like a mess. The image totally detracted from the main content, which is the whole point of this site so I decided to redo it again this week as well as fix some other issues that have been problematic.
In addition, I found a nice widget for handling Category and Tag surfing so that it’s a bit more fun to play with. You’ll find that in the right sidebar now on every page.

I like the new tagging widget. Where did you find that?

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of Flash on sites in general but we don’t have any other animation going on for the most part so I thought it worked well there.
It’s a plugin called Cumulus, available here:

Not sure if it’s available on wordpress.com though. Might need to have a self-hosted wordpress site to use it.
