Muttroxia Updates

1) The randomized tagline at the top. Suggestions are welcome. It’s alarming how many hours of programming* it took me to make this happen.
2) The header image is just a color block, but I can control it now. Submissions for header images are welcome also. Note that the text and search box has to show up clearly though.
3) Down at the sidebar, there’s a count of spam deleted. This is since mid-February 2007. Mostly it’s there because it’s easy to put in, but I also wanted to show how much crap comes along with even a pissant blog like this. I automate as much as I can, but I have to do a lot of manual maintenance also.

The next thing I would like to tackle is comments, making them more readable, maybe easier to enter also. What would y’all like to see? You’ve surfed around enough to know how blogs can be formatted, what features should I work on?

* Muttroxia is built from a combination of HTML, PHP, and databases. I know HTML. I know databases, but don’t know how to access the Muttroxia one. I don’t know PHP, but it’s like HTML. So when I say programming, I mean trying things and seeing what happens. Going to other blogs themes, seeing how they’re coded, copying key bits over, realizing it doesn’t work, trying to cut and paste other things that seemed to be called, or referenced or something, why isn’t header.description left-aligned like I told it!, does changing the color work?, no, so I’m not controlling what I’m controlling I’d better do a text search on all the files for anything about color, nothing has color that doesn’t even make sense, oh I get it, my version will be headerimg.description, I think I get it now, allrighty then… This is what I mean by programming.

At this point, the Muttroxia theme has been heavily customized, so I’m not sure I can switch to another theme without losing all the work I’ve done.
