I coded a much more intuitive interface for modifying/removing articles. Now, when you go to edit or remove an article, the entries are paged, ten at a time, starting with the most recent and going backwards.
In trying to fix the main index I stumbled across an idea that would further refine the monthly archive index generation. Unfortunately, this warranted another modification to the filename of the bits that go into the .entries directory. The good news is that this completely eliminates system modification time from the equation and makes updating your blog behave in a more sensible fashion, ergo, the entries on the front page appear by creation date, instead of, modification date.
If any of the last paragraph didn't make sense, let me say it another way. It didn't work exactly right before but now it does.
Last but not least, the new template, "apartment-building" was submitted by my lovely and talented wife. I modified, only slightly, the original template she has also posted to her site. Eventually I'll get submission guidelines for templates put up and then we can start taking user-submitted templates.
Coincidentally, due to the non-standard transparency effect on the navigation, this style sheet doesn't validate. If you want to use this theme and want your CSS to validate, you'll need to edit out the following lines:
-moz-opacity: 0.75;
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
opacity: 0.75;
These lines are under the dev.LinkListTitle element of the style sheet.
