Some small blog changes

Some readers might notice a few changes here. They are pretty minor, but probably warrant some quick notes. The biggest change is that posts on the main page are now in “summary” format. To read the whole post, click on the “Read More” gadget at the bottom of the post. This change was made so that the posts on the front page are somewhat more concise, and readers who are interested in only certain items can read only those items in depth, instead of scrolling all over the page. The other update of consequence is that the user login block was moved to the right sidebar. It used to be on the left, but sometimes required some scrolling to see it. The big visual change is a new theme that maintains some of the color scheme and ideas from the old theme. This was done to get a cleaner, more polished look on the pages here. Please drop me a line if things aren’t working like you expect, and if you have any comments about the site’s new look!
