As far as I can tell, the RSS feed is now working as it should. It jacked some of the formatting in the blog itself, but if the gods of CSS feel generous, I’ll get that cleared up in a day or so.
Meanwhile I’ve added some Project Wonderful button ads to the site header. Click those worthy links and show them some Gordian love!
Strip update for Wednesday, Jan 30

Click here to jump to this strip!
As many of you may have noticed, my glorious system to post the comic in the RSS feed is not yet entirely successful. The HTML works in some readers but not others. I’ve got a fix now that should solve the problem, but my test site is down (thanks to issues with the web host, continuing from last week) so I can’t copy it to the live site. Once I do, though, everything should run smoothly without any future hiccups ever. Stay tuned.
Wow, what’s with all the gloom and angst in the comic lately? Our luckless schlemiel is really twisting in the wind these days. That’s what schlemiels do, I guess. Maybe his fortunes will upgrade soon.
Speaking of upgrades, I made a couple of minor tweaks to the site and a major one: I finally wrote the code to embed the strip in the RSS feed. Good bye site views! Hello, happier readers! Tomorrow’s strip should turn up in the feed at midnight. Of course the whole thing might fall apart like a stained glass bumpercar, in which case I’ll flail madly at the code tonight and your feed reader may have a small pile of test posts in the morning. Ain’t technology rewarding?
I do have one request for you, my most praiseworthy audience. I’ve only tested the embedded strips in a couple of RSS readers. Please let me know if tonight’s feed looks funny in your reader. Let’s squash any bugs and get on with the ride. Muchas gracias.
Yep, the site was down from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. My web host upgraded its servers and the promised “seamless transition” turned into a very long ordeal. We’re back now. I’m currently sifting through the site to make sure everything is in order.
Sorry for the hassle.
