I have been totally remiss in not writing a lengthy entry in praise of Joelle at BlogMoxie until now, but I'm sort of just getting around to it.

As I did say previously in very brief terms, Joelle is the lovely soul who redesigned this place so that it (1) doesn't look like ass; and (2) more importantly, doesn't work like ass. I had cobbled it together originally from quite a hodgepodge of improvised coding, which was okay, but which had crap all over the place such that I could work it, but just barely.

Now, it is a breeze. When Pool Boy suggested Simers for M.E. of the W. the other night, I was able to pop that in there in under three minutes, so very breezy is the interface these days. Same with updating what I'm reading, watching, and so forth.

You don't know how much a good designer can do for you until you get one. You can't see most of what Joelle did, but I see it every day, and it a superb improvement to the environment on my end as much as yours.

And look how pretty it is, seriously. Come on. So if you're a person who wants a site or thinks you want a site and you think you care about it enough to want it to be pretty and easy to operate, consider it. It's a very worthwhile investment, I personally think, and even if you have the visual creativity of an unripe tomato, like I do, you can get something that makes you look like that isn't the case.

Also, the company has "Moxie" in the name.
