Okay, so I’ve stopped using the dropcaps. I realized (belatedly) that they’re going to wreak havoc with the redesign that’s coming just as soon as I get some free time to monkey with the code. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to look great, but it’s not going to like having big ugly dropcaps all over the place. Ah well. It sure makes starting one of these entries a helluva lot easier not to have to type “span class = dropcap” and so on.
