Hibiscus On the UA campus, October 2006

Falling back on an old standby ...

Actually, the row of hibiscus bushes along the south wall of the parking garage seems to be in trouble; the Mexican bird of paradise bushes on the tier above have grown completely out of hand and seem to be smothering most of the hibiscus.

Modernizing

I was rather fond of my customized Opal layout, but the friends view seems to be fragile these days in ways that the newer layouts aren't, so I thought I'd try something different. (Now, if I could just get my picture of the week to display in a custom sidebar module, I'd be happy; also, I'd really rather anglicize my date display, but that's a minor annoyance.)

Then I messed around some more, and thanks to a post by sbisson in s2expressive I found exactly what I wanted. The blue flower background was an accidental default, but I like it.

Also, I had to give up on the old Xcolibur site view because it suddenly started not working in the photo album managment area.
