As will be obvious to anyone seeing this, the QuakerRanter has been seriously redesigned and moved off the Nonviolence.org server. I plan to talk about the technical underpinnings soon on “MartinKelley.com”:martinkelley.com. In the meantime “email me”:mailto:martink@martinkelley.com if there’s any horrifying glitches.
h3. Update, 9/1/06:
My visitor logs picked up a very interesting new Google entry for my site that highlights the power of keywords and tags that are running on this new site. More over on Martinkelley.com in the immodestly titled post “I am the King of Folksonomy”:http://www.martinkelley.com/blog/2006/09/i_am_the_king_of_folksonomy.php.
Wow. A bit of a shock when I just happened to surf over to see if there was anything new. I think I’m going to like it.
*Hi Robin:* Yes it _is_ a different look, hmm? The bulk in the work isn’t in the off-the-shelf design template but in starting fresh and ditching the three years of here-and-there alterations, then adding a whole layer of new ones. Hopefully I really will find a moment to write some of the process down for other Moveable Type users…
Holy William Penn, Quaker Blog Father — what a redesign indeed! Looks very nice, too. Now that this is done does this mean that there will be even more posts from thee? Well?
Looks great martin, I like the colors!
I thought I’d drop a note for two reasons:
One, to see if my comment gets through this time (third time’s a charm, right?).
And two, to chime in at how great the new look is.
…And now I can add a third thing, more of an FYI: I just scrolled up to look at the top of the page before I clicked on “Preview,” and then, when I scrolled back down, my information (Name, Email, etc.) was GONE.
I know bugs have to be tended to… but this was just plain weird. I’m not gonna risk scrolling up again. I’ll just hit the button and send this on its way and hope for the best.
Blessings,

*Hi Liz:* How odd, things shouldn’t disappear. I’ve made a few behind-the-scene changes. Let me know if oddities continue. PS: Typekey is now enabled.
Dear Martin,
Is that photo (above) the side of Stillwater Meeting House in Barnesville, Ohio?
Just wondering.

*Hi Albion:* Wow, you’re fast, I just added that picture today on a whim. Yes, it’s the Stillwater meetinghouse in Barnesville, taken the other week while I was out for yearly meeting sessions. “Here’s the larger version”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/martin_kelley/224453959.
Hey, Wilburism needs as many drummers as it can get as far as I’m concerned (the meeting I attend, which I should transfer my membership to, is Philadelphia Wilburite). Hope my comments on your blog didn’t come out wrong, I just want to make sure we don’t construct unnecessary hedges between ourselves as we explore the roots of our Quakerism.
