Wouldn’t it be nice?
Over the last two years, I’ve been wishing for just one thing in CSS: rotation. There’s been some discussion about it on the W3C lists, etc. but no one has made a solid pitch for it yet.

I was doing a little server cleanup and moved this site’s folder, forgetting to set the new folder up for mod_rewrite, so permalinks have been broken for the last week or so.

And now the fun begins
