Our Makeover: Look At THIS
There are a lot of incremental and bigger changes still going on here at TMV. Some are minor glitches behind the scenes. But moving a blog from Powerblogs to WordPress is…a project.
You may have not noticed one of the changes that readers — and cobloggers — have often requested.From now on, if you click on the names in our CONTRIBUTORS column on the left, it will now not just show you a TMV writer’s blog or email address but will instead give you a linked list of his or her posts. That way you can read more of your favorite writers. (We plan to add a page of bios of TMV’s writers at a future date)
Our plan is to get all of these basic changes and the conversion from Powerblogs into place. The take a deep breath, learn to use what we have — and then we’re going to start looking at a more extensive redesign of TMV. After all, it is a new year (and a young century).

Making progress so far; keep it up!
The author index is very helpful. Thanks for putting it in place!
Yes, however: I do wonder why Joe Gandelman, yes Joe you, suddenly consists out of three different people:
“the moderate voice”
“john”
“joe”
huh?
Just my 2 cents on things:
Searching archives for words contained in a post (or maybe even comments) would be awesome,
We lost the ‘bold’, ‘quoted’, ‘link’ etc buttons. I liked them. If that has something to do with the switch to word press and can’t be replaced, maybe a link to a cheat sheet on BBC code or whatever it is that is used to denote such formatting in the comments.
Also, what happened to the account login? Does this mean some jerk could conceivably post as someone else?
Why yes, I can. sorry for the steal mvdg
Hmmmm, so that was my test, and it looks like the comments are not pretty insecure. It might be kinda funny, until it got really annoying.
