About me
This still needs to be written, but here is a page about the place I live in.
About this site
The site runs on WordPress, with a number of plugins.
About the old site
The old version of the site used blosxom, and is still available (but it may fail in some places).
Layout
The original idea for the old layout of this site (which is still used in the image pages for example) is copied from a design on OSWD, called libra. Among other things I changed it to be XHTML 1.1 compliant and to make more use of CSS.
Code
The site uses blosxom as if it were some kind of content management system (CMS). I know it’s not intended to be, but it interacts nicely with my weblog, which is running another instance of blosxom. They share the content, but for reading older articles the weblog is more suited. This instance is using some plugins to generate the content: better_title, gzip, headlines, hide, sitelinks, theme, writeback, xhtml. All these plugins can be downloaded from the blosxom website. The theme file is not yet finished, but when it is I will publish it.

Lychnis
Lychnis is the name of a genus of flowers that are common in Europe. The image at the top left of the old layout and in the shortcut icon is a processed image of a lychnis flos-cuculi L. (ragged robin).
