Species of North American ring-plover,
the name imitative of its cry
a lost shorebird circling the waves of the hills
in the Outer Hebrides, a rare visitor
what I hear in the dark
when the stroke of the umze fades
ring-plover, shorebird, visitor (and photo source)

Ugh. Hopefully this will all look better soon: I finally caved in and upgraded my blogger template.
Yikes, and it has a profile from four years ago over there on the right...
Congratulations, Dale! Not only does it look MUCH better, but hey -- the old positional links seem to go to the correct blog posts, which was my one big concern for you, that you'd lose PageRank and we'd be left with a bunch o' dead links.
Real shame to have to lose all the old comments, but this system will be much easier on your readers, I think.
I'm not sure that's the best shade of blue, but you can change that ina few seconds. Hell, you can even swap in the old pea-green if you want! (Not that I'm advocating that.)
This is a standard blogger template right out of the box. I'm going to hold off changing anything for a bit, because I think I should let this settle first, and not, for instance, automatically try to restore my beloved garamond and pea green :-)
I know, I'm very sad about losing the old comments. I have them squirreled away in an xml box, though, so they're not lost forever. Some exceptionally industrious grad student will no doubt contact me in thirty years hoping to comb through it for Teju's old comments :-)
Were I to experience synesthesia, Garamond absolutely would appear in pea-green. Pity about the comments, but so many of your posts explicitly refer to them that the dialog fabric is preserved.
So glad to read you, safe and sound, on the narrow end of the transporter beam.
Nice bit of spring cleaning here Dale- fresh fresh in the new blue. Goodbye pea-green!
Oh, this has changed overnight Dale. Looks cool, so glad to visit here, not that I had problems with the previous one:)
very nice, dale! :)
Huh, it never looked pea green to me. Brown, like mole fur. Anyway, I'm shocked by the change, as always. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
em for Melanie
