the joys of template editing

I’m still working on configuring the look and feel of my MT3 blog. This is phenomenally slow, tedious work. On the plus side of things, it seems to be progressing in the direction of overall goodness. I hate blogging about blogs, so hopefully this...

Mac OS X

Cocoa Controls
