Little Changes

Update: You may need to empty your cache or at least refresh a few times to see these changes, especially in Safari.
I've made a few little changes to the Sunken theme (default) in the past few days, which you may or may not have noticed.
I added a link to 5 more recent entries at the bottom of the index page (so you can keep reading if you wish, without having to first go to the archives), and I've tweaked the way comments appear. I also lightened up the edges of the style buttons, so they don't stick out so much.
The most important change is something I've been meaning to since I launched this new design and I finally got around to making it happen today:
You can now view a description of the masthead photo. When you hover over the masthead, you'll see a small icon* appear in the upper right-hand corner. Simply mouse over that icon to see a description appear.
This has been requested by lots of people and was an original plan, so I'm glad to see it in place now. Hope it makes the photos even more enjoyable!
The site is in a constant state of tweaking, so I'll be sure to keep you abreast of any other significant tweaks.
* Thanks to Mathew Hoy for creating the original icon for me, which I tweaked to the version you see now. He's good with the pixels.

Hey Garrett!
How did you do masterhead with description to it?
I am a photographer and programming is very far away from my understanding.
It would be great if you could tell me how to do masterhead like that. The reason I'm interested is because I am trying to make a website. And I think masterhead like yours would be great addition. I didn't decide yet where to put it. I am thinking about the first flash page - with different photos every time person reloads the page.
Cheers,
Andrew
