But what if I don't WANT a title here?

Well, it's bare-bones at this point, but at least you're reading this. Right? Posting something and having it show up in less than 7 minutes is actually giving me a half-wood. I think I'm going to miss those ugly flamey things, though.

Blogspot might suck, but ain't nobody safe. There was a fire at Hosting Matters, knocking out Instapundit and a bunch of other sites. I think it was caused by the friction from Reynolds posting 400 times a day...

So, this thing comes with comments. I'll leave them on for now, but the second somebody starts being a dick, comments go away. When I post in somebody's comments, I try to be useful and/or entertaining, or at least not completely hostile and retarded. If they choose not to have comments, I just e-mail them if I've got something to say, and I don't make a federal case of it. Okay? Okay.

Oh, crap, how could I forget! The biggest thanks I can give to Kevin Parrott for kicking me in the ass and helping me set this up. Help, hell, he did all of it. I was just like, "Anything I can do?" As tends to be the case, there was nothing I could do.

P.S. If you're using IE, is the right margin messed up? If so, do you know how to fix it?

Finally. I can talk back to you instantly.

Congratulations. I would announce it on my blog but it's on fire.

Very nice, it's all smoov and virginal.

Actually, you don't have to turn the comments off, just grab the pecker-weasel in question's IP address off the comment and ban him/her.

MT is such a beautiful thing, particularly if you get off on ruling with an iron fist.

Right margin problems...I'm gonna guess you don't have Convert Line Breaks on for the entry?

And woah, you've already changed the layout again.

Yay!

Wow, it sucks much less to be you now.

Lookin' good. It's funny how today you have your own domain and Instapundit is stuck on Blogspot. (http://instabackup.blogspot.com)

Heh.

Hey, I have to go back in to work for a couple more hours, then I will return to fuck up your template even more.

The ever-modest Mr. Parrott is the only reason this thing doesn't look like a big pile of buttholes.

Let me second Andrea's Yay!

Wow, how elegant! I'm going to miss the delightfully tacky blogspot version.

the right column looks alright, except the ad with the monkey is below the main text instead of on the right. oh and it doesn't look like the meeting hall for the gay firefighters association. other than that, looks good & congrats. and i'll try not to say anything annoying/and/or/offending, you big ugly pile of crap (oops) - seriously though, aloha & i'm jealous becuz blogspot sucks my ass cheeks, left, right, then right down the middle.

is the right margin messed up?

Yes, it is.

If so, do you know how to fix it

Yes, I do.

Drop me a line.

Hooray!

Welcome to the functional part of the Blogosphere. And just think, you can invite anyone from the TCJ message board over here, then ban them and delete their messages.

I had right margin problems in MT when I used the default layouts. I'm sure there's some fancy-schmancy CSS technique to fix it, but I was able to solve it by putting some basic html tables around the whole layout.

Well, it figures the one day I am gone all day you go and get comments. DAMMIT JIM. Looks great, needs some cool looking pictures and stuff.

If MT is anything like greymatter, you don't have to display the title- you just have to give it one...

Congrats Jim... Glad to see you're free of the evil that is blogspot.
