If you've been trying to browse this site over the past ten minutes or so, you've probably been witness to some awkward changes in style and layout. I was making some experimental attempts to get the site looking a little snazzier. They failed. Rather miserably.

So, wanting my site to look snazzier than the defult without having to do too much work this very minute, I went to the Movable Type web site to choose one of their sample styles. As it 's an approximate match the blue/grey colour scheme of the old site, and because we watched the four-plus-hour epic recently, I downloaded the style called "Gettysburg".

I'm still going to tweak the style and page tempaltes of this site in the near future; I have a good idea how I want it to look. The trick is figuring out how to program that look in HTML/CSS.
