dasBlog, the software used to run this blog, has been updated to v1.7. I have upgraded my site, so please let me know if you see anything amiss. This new version includes a Captcha control for comments, which helps to block bots from posting comment spam. I hope that this is not too much trouble for you. Also, my customized theme was not working so well, so I went back to the default until I can figure out what's up.

Thanks for your patience.
