A little note about Beck's Cafe

Well WordPress 2.1 has come out, my graphics code is still broken and our links are still out of whack (rendering the long loved on Site Map not very useful).  And the issues I noted in our “Happy New Years 2007” post are still here.  We also learned that not everyone has broadband (perish the thought!) and so our oh so cute article graphics may have made Beck’s Cafe not so much fun to download for some. We apologize for not being a bit more sensitive to those with less than a fat pipe at their disposal.

So what’s a barista to do? Well the team huddled over some chocolate spiked cappucino and decided that some serious rolling up the sleeves was in order. So over the next two weeks or so you’ll notice some test changes and some permanent changes as well. Things might get a little whacky around here in the display and functional department. In the meantime we’ll be whipping up the content and hope you find it worth stopping by Beck’s Cafe to sit for a bit and read over a latte.

OH! And we had one reader who stopped by for a personal (as in in-the-flesh kind of in-person) visit just to say “hi” and to tell us how much he enjoyed the frothy mix of content here. Mr. Reader, and you know who you are, please drop me some mail so we can fix the problem with you not being able to add comments on this blog. I’m not sure where the code is broken on that but maybe between the two of us we can narrow it down. It may also be your comment got marked, but accident, as spam, and so Akismet has been moving your comments out. In either case we can likely narrow it down if you’ll help me a bit here.

Finally, our little Cafe has grown considerably in readership and I want to thank each and every reader who has come by. You could choose to do something more valuable with your treasured time but you’ve come here and for that I and the team are very grateful. We are now serving up hot content to about 600 unique visitors per month (6000 hits per month, from 38 counties! ). Thanks!!
