Minor Site Updates (Content & Style) [updated x3]

Posted May 5, 2006, 6:54 p.m.

I’ve been making some minor site updates over the past few days (not enough to bump the version number—still at 17.2). The changes will slightly improve readability and also affect some legacy content. Here are the changes:

Added a light gray border to the breadcrumb/pathway links to increase contrast.
Added a thicker row border and alternating background to content tables.
Added and rearranged legacy content (primarily school papers) to make sure they’re in correct categories and presented appropriately (including a note about which class each paper was written for).
[updated 5/12] Improved display of the poll results page in standards-compliant browsers. The IE problem on the poll results page appears to be fixed.
[updated 5/6] Opera (Mac OS X/Linux/Windows) in no longer a supported browser. Opera is used by significantly fewer than 1 percent of my visitors and has many un-fixed rendering bugs. I recommend Opera users switch to Safari or Firefox.

Jordan Peterson

Everything human must have in it both joy and sorrow; the only matter of interest is the manner in which the two things are balanced or divided.

Faith and reason are indeed interdependent. One of the great secrets of the universe is that reason leans on faith every bit as much as faith leans on reason.

Scott Hahn

When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.

For the spiritual power of a sacrament is like light in this way: . . . if it passes through the impure it is not defiled.

The purpose of the First Amendment’s religion clause was not to protect the state (or the people) from religion, but to protect religion from the state. . . .

Scott Bradford

Science adapts its theory to reality, whereas ideology adapts reality to theory.
