Afterword: I'm still mucking round with the right hand column with the aim of making it more usable. I was comfortable cutting down the green links because there's a central list of greenie blogs I could also point to. The other kinds of blog are more tricky, so that's still a work in progress.

I have added a little reading list of books that have caught my attention but fear not, I'm not going to get excited and turn the sidebar into a jumble. That way lies madness. However, I am considering a redesign... we'll see.
