A Banner Day

This past Tuesday was a banner day for Blog P.I. Yet this past Tuesday was also a day in which I did not actually update the principal site content here (I will concede, that does describe most days at this URL (or in WordPress’ particular parlance, URI)).

For the first time in this website’s history, an actual photographic image has replaced the durable #3371A3 default color from the K2 WordPress theme in the banner of this particular weblog. Additionally, you may also notice that this blog is now fixed by the width of said image. Go ahead, resize the browser, I’ll wait. See that? We’re fixed-width, baby!

I know, you’re overwhelmed. Please try to contain yourself.

Free time dependent, more layout changes are headed thisaway. One of my goals is to introduce seasonal themes to the Blog P.I. banner, so the image atop this page should change within a few weeks. Next up should be a photograph taken by the expectant parents of yours truly when they visited Washington, D.C. in the late 1970s. (That hazy sky will be no mere trick of Photoshop.) Time permitting, I will likewise be updating the blogroll toward a graphical format, but let’s cross that bridge when the metaphorical stones are actually underfoot.

In the meantime, keep checking back for updates. And if your interests run toward Oregon football, then I cannot endorse The Washington Canard strongly enough. Except that updates there are likewise sporadic. To quote the non-paleontologist Jack Horner, it is what it is.

P.S. I would announce this as a “red-letter day” in Blog P.I. history, sure, except in most browsers any followed link here appears in dark red. So that would be pretty much meaningless. Not unlike this post, you may have noticed.

P.P.S. I may as well point out that the new logo is based on the Magnum P.I. opening title sequence, and that it took me more Photoshop time to perfect than I care to admit.

    Beeeeaaaautiful. Well done, Blog P.I. The blue sky in your banner signals it’s time for me to get my fall sweaters out.

    We dont have fall or winter here. Maybe a New Years theme would be nice.
