Yay! And did I mention that I love the little icons for each section on the main page? So cute.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How do I put an ampersand in my tagline? A "&" is showing up as the entity: "& amp ; "

The HTML sanitizer squashes a lot of things. I'd have to look at a way to tone it down safely & soundly. But since you can use it in a post, it shouldn't be too hard to adopt that logic for taglines I would think.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

EVEN TINIER BUG!

The Buffy/Angel/FF quotes at the top are ever so slightly misformatted. They say:

Spike ,'Help'

Instead of

Spike, 'Help'

As a professional recipient of bug reports, I'm not sure whether to be incredibly sorry for saying so or not.

Nah, don't be sorry. Working out the bugs is a good thing.

Maybe this weekend I can get some things into written into issues and organized.

I can patch some small bugs and then look at the work Gris has done and bundle that with some token-handling refinements into a 1.1 release. Probably won't happen real fast.

Do we know if Robin and Suzi are sorted now?

Oh, and I think I'll need to reset the postgres sequence for threads before a new one can be added. A side effect of migration, so it doesn't show up as a problem with test data.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I believe both Robin and Suzi are sorted, thank you!

Did I mention how happy the favicon makes me? It's such a relief.

Our wings are not tired.

The favicon is wonderful. As is this new board! Thank you again and again.

I am embarrassed to ask this, but did we compensate you for this, Gud? Is there a way to do that? If you had PayPal or Venmo I'd happy send you some $ for your efforts.
