Templates, Hooray!

Whenever you have somebody over to your home you should never, ever apologize for the state of your house. You don't wring your hands and tell them you are so sorry the chairs are not comfortable, and that the stairs are so dark, and the hall is so poky, and the food was just a little overdone, and you wish you'd had time to sweep the cobwebs off the rafters... It's not done.

The reason it is not done is the reason for so many of our customs governing conduct- it does not put people at their ease. You make them painfully conscious of the fact that their presence in your home is making you unhappy, miserable, and uncomfortable.

On the other hand, if you are in the midst of home improvement and you want to talk about it, you can- but not by apologizing. Say something like "Don't mind the mess, we're in the midst of construction, and I can't wait to show you the finished product."

Well, welcome to our blogdom, and please make yourselves comfortable. We're in the midst of some minor revisions, but we won't mind the mess if you won't. The revisions are minor now thanks to the work of Firefly at Bioluminescence who sent me a present tonight. She fiddled around with the template and made it better than before. All that's left for me to do is add back some of our links (the more recently we put you in the side bar, the more likely it is that you're missing now, but we'll put you back soon!).

The Headmaster's Choice, a couple of links to Air Force sites, have gone missing, too, but we can get them back.

Thank-you, Firefly!!!!!!! Long may you glow.=)
