  • The New Shape of Things

    As you can see, I’ve undertaken a site revision here at the CultSoc. I concluded that the sidebar was distracting from the contributions and thus quarantined it to the colophon page, where you’ll find the same array of search options (including plain-old “search”) without mucking up our contributors’ texts and images.

I stopped using them altogether in 2004. […]
