Okay, nevermind. I found it.
Methinks I got a little too shaken by the prospect of them moving.
Perhaps it’s time to switch to decafe.

No worries, Ed! We’ll be putting the banner back up on the right side in a bit. We’re just playing around with the homepage, and making small (hopefully positive) changes by the day.

Well, your post did make me go look at the vocab rehab page, because although I know what “an elision” is and what “to elide” means, I was thrown off by “an elide” in the title… (It’s a verb!)

By the way what has happened to the “Most Improtant Questions” daily entry.
It hasn’t changed since April 25th.
