did the font on your blog get double plus huge while I wasn't looking?

Yes it did! Good eye. I’d rearranged things at home in a way that was putting the screen a couple of feet farther away, and was finding the old size hard to read. Which probably meant that the site wasn't readable enough in general, but this was a quick fix. I’m thinking I’ll probably do a complete makeover in the spring.

This happened a few weeks ago, didn't it?

Yeah — I don't remember exactly when.

Belated yay for revision and resubmission!

(Among other things.)

Thanks, Jed!

On MOD — hint: the OD is the same as in DOD, except for the spelling.
