A few small updates were made to the website today:
To improve the navigability of the site for those searching for a follow-up comment, I’ve added a listing of recent comments in the sidebar.
I’ve also added a “sticky” announcement post to the site which highlights recently completed work. This latter addition is intended to give visitors a quick look at something more polished than the daily sketches. This was done using the WP-Sticky plugin created by Lester ‘Gamerz’ Chan.
Incidentally, I’m contemplating moving the sidebar to the right side of the page, since that places it closer to the scrollbar — and the typical position of the mouse pointer — in most browsers. Don’t be surprised if that occurs sometime in the near future. 
Update: I just saw a question regarding the way image zooming is accomplished on the website. That’s all done using Cabel Sasser’s FancyZoom javascript script. Highly recommended.
