Look! Pretties!
OK. I am a clever little Vortex. See, there's this slick word-count bar at the top of the page, it's made of two itty-bitty divs all dressed up in CSS to go out and meet the nice people, and there's an unimposing Log In link at the bottom of the page that I can click so I can enter humungo long-ass run-on sentences like this one right on the web page, there are links I can use to edit existing blog entries or just delete them entirely...
All right, genius. What's missing?
Yeah. That nicely decorated word count hasn't moved all day, has it?
Guess I'd better save developing the random quote administrative tool for later...and write now.
