A few weeks ago now, I had to decide whether I would renew my domain name for this blog or just kill it off. I must admit the temptation was there to simply pull the plug on it and in less than dramatic fashion, let it slip away into the depths of […]

Having at one time been labeled a “loser” in Walt Crawford’s article on the printability of blog postings (a point well deserved ;)), I thought it worthwhile to install the WP Print Plugin to my site (note: newest plugin version *is* compatible with WP 2.x) .

It isn’t perfect, but it will have to do for now. There are a few minor CSS bugs to fix for browsers outside of IE, but I should have those kinks worked out soon. The last thing I want to do is favor Internet Exploder over the beautiful Firefox.
