Much to my distress, Blogger does not support any kind of features in comments, especially links.
The comments are, of course, in the cloud and not where I can preserve them.
I wonder if I can use Discus comments instead. It will involve hacking the template. But maybe that is the reliable way to support and curate them.
I have moved control of theme customization and trials to here, in line with the Accounting for Themes direction.
Orcmid’s Lair design is moved here. I made adjustments to the customization that are consistent while distinguishing Muddleware Lab appearance. Those cosmetic features will also be customized when I respawn other blogs in the current re-establishment effort.
A few design modifications have been back-ported to Orcmid’s Lair after being confirmed with changes here.
I’ve determined how to avoid Open Live Writer mangling its edit pages. I am not updating from the blog’s theme material on blogspot. I pray that there are no untoward effects.
I also discovered why the Movable Type incarnation of the Muddleware lab now serves up ugly. The forced change of the access URLs causes page-internal absolute URLs to be blocked because they are still http:// ones. So styles and scripts are not fetched. Ick. This deserves a post of its own on the law of unintended (?) consequences, fixing things that are not broken, and widespread cluelessness.
