I'm in the middle of a rather massive modification to the site. Every HTML file is getting refitted with the stylesheet selection capability you are enjoying on this page. While I'm at it, I'm adding some CSS classes that should have been in place from the beginning.

The upshot is that, since this is kind of a pain to edit each and every file, this transition will take some time. So, the site might not be in a consistent state.

OK, here's the deal: Over the years, I have tried lots of different ways of handling the content at this site, including custom Python scripts, straight HTML, and off-the-shelf content management systems. Two years ago, I decided to switch for the last time (ha!) to Joomla. After two years of that, I can't stand its restrictions and the general pain of adding content. So now I'm back to straight HTML. This will be my last switch (again, ha!).

I've found that I prefer doing things over chronicling what I've done. As a result, this site suffers. But no one reads this stuff anyway, so only I care.
