Here at Snug Harbor Systems, every web site is individually hand-crafted using only the finest text editors. A Snug Harbor site is one that is certified to the higest standards, and is, insofar as is possible, viewable with any browser--our photo galleries, alas, do not work as well as we would like in text-only browsers, but such is life.

And so, I am pleased to announce a new service in our fine, hand-crafted websites: dropcaps!

That, Gentle Reader, is when the first letter of a paragraph is as tall as multiple lines of normal text. A delicate smattering of them to help offset new sections of a document is not just classy, it's comfortably medieval--but beware overuse, for lo, you look dumb then.

Go, me! Even more, go this really excellent tutorial!

And as long as I'm throwing the shoutsout, let's hear it for Lorem Ipsum, standard filler text of choice since, roughly, Gutenberg.

See the fruits of my labor in my most recent "test pattern" pages, one for seidh.org, and one for--oops, no, that site needs a little more content before it's Ready for Prime Time. SOON! SOON I TELL YOOOU!

Not sure if you're aware, but I can't get into Nerdalfheim webmail. The connection is "denied" - which is, I suppose, better than "not found".

*sigh* That would be because Sigdrifa walked across the surge suppressor in an attempt to get into the closet--everything came back safely except the web server!

It's back now.

Yay! Now I can direct people to seidh.org in the hopes of a field trip. ;)

Well, yes, that is why we spruced it up, to encourage more workshops. 8-)

Um, the "Want a workshop" link didn't work when I tried it just now. Nor did the PDA for the questionaire. Might just be my computer lab's computer but I thought I'd bring it up.

Whoops!

Both of these have now been fixed--thanks for bringing that up!
