I am truly sad...

... for the death of someone I may have exchanged, at most, a few text words with, over this here internet. Mandarin Meg, Michelle Goodrich, whose Mandarin Design ("for people who make mistakes"), was the friendly face of all that seemed such a mystery about HTML and CSS.

I had put off the big redesign of this blog, finally ditching the Blogger template so commonly used, and making something more personal. I knew that when it came time, I would find all the advice I would need at Meg's. She was a cornerstone of my blogging world, like most things blog, introduced by Madame L. Frank first, the Madame (from her travels) and Stu have all posted so elequantly. My thoughts join theirs.
