...been busy today here at deconstructor world headquarters smoothing out some of the site's rough edges and implementing some long-overdue features. Among the highlights for you blogging nerds:

• This main index should now validate as valid HTML 4.01, if I can keep the tags in my entires clean. The W3C's validator should back me up on this point. Movable Type takes some persuasion to output fully valid code. I used Brad Choate's RegEx plugin to replace & characters in long URL query strings with their character entity equivalents
• Ditched the ugly table markup in the sidebar for a super-clean DIV/CSS scheme
• Implemented the new random links section in the sidebar, where I'll be actively posting interesting links without (much) comment
• Educated my quotes and performed other typographic geekery using Daring Fireball's SmartyPants plugin
• New and improved playlist feed in the sidebar, straight from Winamp
• Shiny new CSS bulleted list styles
