Well, I apologize for being so fickle. I shouldn't have jumped ship quite so fast. iWeb 2.0 is much improved over the older version, but after playing with it some, it's still not quite mature enough for me to leave RapidWeaver--in spite of the problems I'm having with RW.

So, I apologize to all the folks who reset their links and subscriptions. I promise not to do this again anytime soon.

But for right now, everything is staying right here.

As you can see by the menu, the Site Index to This Lamp is back up. I had to take it down while I was using alpha & beta versions of RapidWeaver 3.6, but now everything is out of beta and the SiteMap module from Loghound has been updated as well.

I'm in the process of changing the site template again. I'd be interested to hear feedback as to how it looks compared to the previous template, and especially from Windows users. I'm still working out some of the kinks. And I notice immediately that the pictures I used before with drop shadows don't transfer over well, but I doubt I'm going to fix that on previous posts.

Incidentally, for those of you who are curious about such things, I edit this website using RapidWeaver, and this particular theme is called "My Desktop," which I obtained from Multithemes.

UPDATE 3/3: Based on comments, I've widened the main body. I've also tried to streamline subpages. The Multithemes came with .png objects that could be dropped into place. It's nifty to have that ability, but the stuff scattered around the borders may be a bit much. I'll see if it grows on me.

UPDATE 3/5: Okay, I've removed the .png objects and tried to do some basic cleanup. If everything looks okay after this next publish (which means you're reading this), I'll leave it alone at least for a while. I still may move the site to iWeb if the forthcoming v. 2.0 does everything I want it to do.

This Lamp is created using RapidWeaver--not just the blog, but the whole site. They've released a public beta this morning of a new version to the software, and considering I've already found some bugs, it's definitely betaware. Regardless, the template I was using for the site was third party and has not yet been updated to v. 3.5. So I'm temporarily using one of the new RapidWeaver templates. I don't really like this one, but of all the new ones, it was the only one with a white background (other than that one with a skateboard). It seems like there's some problems with the comments in a few places. Hopefully, I can figure this out soon.

One good thing though is that I finally have true permalinks. I've been inserting them manually since November for folks who occasionally might want to link to a blog. I think the old links will still work, but I'll also gradually be removing my old permalinks. Look for the new ones at the top of the post.

I've also had to consolidate my menu structure because this template only supports menus on top (yuck) and then only one row. Everything's still here. You might just have to look around.

As soon as my former template is updated or if the RapidWeaver folks release some different templates, I'll change again.
