I made some cosmetic changes to the main page at thorntreegarden this morning--the cats had me up early, I was online, and had the time, so what the hell, why not. :)

I'm pretty pleased with the results. The page has a more stylized look & feel to it, and it's much easier to navigate. I added an "about the author" blurb in the right-hand sidebar, as well as the "sensitive readers" disclaimer I've been going on about. This I felt was particularly important in the wake of what happened recently with LJ suspending and/or deleting several journals and communites, quite a few unnecessarily. Thorn Tree has no content like the suspended or deleted accounts, and AFAIK will not have such content (unless I feel compelled to address that subject matter, and then I will do so sensitively and intelligently--or I hope I will, anyway). That said, there are a lot of overly sensitive types out there who love whining about silly crap instead of taking responsibility for themselves and their lives; putting up the disclaimer gives these types every opportunity to click the BACK button or otherwise navigate the heck away from the page.

That's it. Busy today meeting up with friends in Manhattan. New post should go up Tuesday latest. Ciao for now.
