What's the story behind the banner image?

The banner image is composed of a fractal IFS background. The inset image is digitized from a hand-painted canvas. The wording is a bit silly.

What content management system do you use on the site?

MovableType 2.x. It's an incredibly flexible blog tool written in perl - totally recommended, if you can still find the free 2.x series. (Don't know why the authors didn't include any kind of comment and link spam prevention though).

Who did the site design?

What browsers do you design the site for?

Primarily designed/tested with Firefox 1.0. If a design element is too difficult to develop for multiple browsers, we conditonally enable it for Firefox only (for example, the black page background). We check for compatibility on IE 6 and Pocket IE 2003.

Who is King?

Clearly, Paul is King

What is the proper way to embed links in a comment?

You can just use normal <a href="http://site.com">Site Link
</a> Other tags like <img src="">, <b> and <pre> also work. To make a less than sign without the browser getting confused with a tag, use &lt;
