I checked it out. Could be a tough sell. Anyone else want to offer up some ideas on themes?

Anyone else want the job of designing this place?

Re: feedback on the tiny font and purple background on quotes - I think these themes would give the site a cleaner, easier-to-read look:

FWIW, I cannot discern how to change font size or the quote background color in the current theme.

Ideas? Suggestions?

I went with Otto Puzzells in keeping with my long-established practice of assuming a name that mimics the site I am most partial to. I hung onto Karn Utz a bit too long, I suppose.

And contrary to rumor somebody once tried to start, I am not, nor have I ever been, CP. ;D
