Way, way in the back

I've converted this blog over to the new Blogger, and I'm testing out some of the new stuff this gives me access to. I was hoping to use the image uploading mechanism to get new pictures on the blog, since I'm nearly out of storage in the hopelessly archaic "home page space" allotted to me by my internet service provider.

Of course, the nice folks at Blogger have gone to ridiculous lengths to make doing this "easier". The means that the thing now adds a big splat of html into my post to float the image according to some arbitrary setting available on the upload page (which I'm thinking may mess with the way I've done my sidebar). I think there may be a new blog layout in my future. If you're gonna submit, you may as well just roll over and do it.

The photo, by the way, is of a decent-sized Lycosa rabida, or "rabid wolf spider" that I caught and photographed a few years ago. These aren't the largest spiders you'll find running around Ohio, but I think they're close. I've caught specimens of another type of wolf that were larger than this one, but are apparently too common to give a separate name. They're darker in coloration and a little furrier (furryer? furryish? Whatever, they have more fur).
