Help! I need somebody...
If you're reading this, you've found my new weblog location. I've been fooling around with my new blogging tool, Movable Type (which, as my cousin James would say, can make one's hair hurt, even great hair like his). Now I've got the new location looking the way I want it to on my browser, Internet Explorer 6.
However, before I stop posting to my old Blogspot blog and move the official hit counter over here, I want to make sure that the new site looks right for my readers as well as for me.
So click around on the permalinks and comments, and leave me a comment here as to how everything looks.
Barring big problems, the formal "cutover" will be in a few days.
Thanks for your input.
UPDATE, 8/12, 3:24 pm: Well, hearing no objections, I pulled the trigger. The old site is officially shut down and everything new is going here from now on. Thanks for the comments, folks. It is great hearing from you.

Looks pretty good, just thought you might like to know that the grey letters"Posted by Jack Bogdanski at" dont show very well against that background.

Oh. and by the way you win for being the first prof to give out their reading assignment. And, I know it's related to the timeliness of the subject matter, but it still sucks that we have pay through the nose for all new books.
Look forward to seeing you in two weeks.

Thanks, Dan, I'll change that color.
Hilsy, the Chirelstein book is available used. The other two are new. Tax law changes constantly, and tax books have a very short shelf life. Alas, it's the nature of the beast.

Jack,
I'm most impressed. I have not yet mustered the courage to tackle Movable Type. I break out in a cold sweat trying to figure out how to turn the VCR on. Moving off BlogSpot is, however, just a matter of time.
Good luck with our new digs.
Jim

Prof. It looks good to me. hilsy, whoever you are, stop complaining. Please. You are getting the best tax professor on the planet for any price.

Really. I'm not complaining. Well maybe just about the nature of the beast. I'm actually surprised one of the books is available used. And, his being first prof ready is just another sign of how good he is. Some profs don't even bother until the day before classes start or the first day of classes.

Hi Brother Jack,
Greetings from NJ. The new page looks good.
Good luck in your new space.

Movable Type is indeed a pull-out-your-hair experience, but once you get it up and running, it's so easy and gives so much flexibility that I found it totally worth the effort.
And I don't remember almost any of my law school books being available used. Maybe a few, but I was such a hyperfreakish margin-scribbler and highlighter that I probably couldn't have tolerated used books anyway. (I didn't tend to use all the scribbling for anything specific; it was more for writing things like "DUMB" over entire paragraphs of cases. Yes, that is what my old law books look like.)
What was I saying? Oh, right. Site looks great, links work, permalinks work, comments work, free downloads of Madonna show up just fine.
Just kidding, RIAA! Don't sue!

Jack, new digs look great. I admire you for taking on Moveable Type. It seems to be the rage around Blogdom, but i'm such a novice, I'll probably stick with blogspot for a while. Looking good!
