Yes, logins are still broken, but the look and feel is pretty much stable.
OK. The layout is pretty much done. Let me know what you think. I think I'll keep the nav on the left for now. I'm not quite finished hacking, but when I am, I'll clone this theme, switch the nav to the right, and make it available as a separate theme for you to choose as your default.
More good and bad news in the full read...
As mentioned in my previous comment, the login/user functions are being redirected by my host. So, I've put in a temporary user login form while I try and figure out the correct htaccess/mod_rewrite voodoo -- which might not even work. Other than that, I'm going to dig around the Drupal site and see if anyone has any bright ideas. :sad:
In happier :smile: news, recipes are here! This and your personal blog are the two areas that authenticated users can create and will be published immediately. By default, these are not promoted to the front page -- myself as benevolent dictator :evil: can do this.
On the backend, lots of little changes. For instance, caching is now enabled for anonymous users. If you're not logged in, you may have to refresh a couple of times to see all the newest stuff.
On all "read more" -- i.e. full versions of articles, etc. -- I've added some Google AdSense code. Looks like I've been targetted as "blogging related". Google will likely spend some time crawling my new clean URLs. Be interesting to see if some different pages get different ads. Also, I emailed MacOSXHints to update a listing about anonymous FTP and to add my name to the description -- it was done and fixed in something like 5 minutes, including an email response to me. Wow!
Oh, yes. If you had subscribed via RSS, the feed URL has changed to http://www.bmannconsulting.com/node/feed. The various blog ones have changed as well (note to self -- go fix your user blog feed).

Removed a long time ago. My little corner of the web is a crufty place until I get some time to move it to Bryght.
well? There doesn't seem to be an option to do this anymore?
You hit the "logout" link at the top*. If you have/had a different theme selected in your user preferences, I don't know what would happen. If you can't change your theme, let me know, and I'll edit your user profile back to the default.
Here's a "plain" logout link if you can't see it: logout.
:evil: *ok, I admit, I cheated -- I just added that
(why would you want to logout? unless you're Greg and want to post anonymously sometimes...)
I used to use the "New Comments" feature in the nav bar... but it's gone now. Bring it back! :(
- Actually... I can use the "recent" link at the top I guess... but back to stylesheets - am I the only one that sees the threaded comments end to far to the right? In some cases they overlap and go beyond the rightnav style...
I'm still getting used to the tracker myself. I think I decided I like it better, but it will take some getting used to. All part of the Drupal 4.2 -- I can't "go back".
:shocked: Hmm...just looked in IE6/Win at this post, which has 12 comments, and don't see any overlapping/going beyond the style. Try a refresh?
In any case, I am so done with fiddling...for now.
I dunno... maybe it's cause I'm using IE5.5... but check this out...
I'm not going to fix bugs in anything less than the most recent browser for a platform...
Not something I could say for a client site, of course. For those, I tend to use a table to nail down columns, mainly because it's such a b*tch to get everything looking the same for older IE browsers.
I assume you are running IE5.5 at work, and are not allowed to install the newest version? You don't run that at home, do you?!?
... but only because I'm too extremely lazy to upgrade. ;)
:puzzled: :shocked: I can't believe it. Don't you run Windows Update? I would hope at least that all your security patches are up to date...the great thing about older builds of IE is that security is not checked as much anymore...
but I still don't like the default font. It looks unnecesarily busy and clashes badly with the typeface from Google Adsense and the system typeface in the dropdown menus.
I like the cleaner fonts as on Ito's blog.
It should be Georgia...which is OK. On Macs, it's the gorgeous Palatino. I may implement a font-select hack. Tim Bray has one, so I can probably use his code.
Joi Ito has Lucide Grande listed first. On the Mac, I see plain old Verdana.
I posted a request for help in fixing my re-direct problem, and had a working solution in under 24 hours. I love the Drupal community!
I 've actually started hacking on the recipe module, since the formatting was all screwed. I have to find out who owns it right now, and check out the CVS version, which means installing CVS, etc. etc.
