After a long vacation, I'm back at woodnet and working sort of hard at rebuilding my website and blog. In time, most everything from the website will be duplicated at the blog. 

Currently I'm testing out a format that I hope will work. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks! Took a long break from everything before getting back into stuff. The current blog theme needs some css work to tweak various parts. If I can remember my css?

Not being one to visit Webster--the full version--I always thought "ligature" represented something crooked, or my work ties. Check out the Ligatures and Fonts rules. Old timers weren't a bunch of Elmer Fudd's or Siffies.

Also sometime known as the stitches used in amputations.....
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Ligature in printing and font worlds refers to the little squigglies that were used to connect letters in early 19th and most 18th C and 17th C printing. In other words, stitches.
