Thank you! For the original hosting and for putting up with our fumbling of the handoff. =)

I'm not a huge fan of the wizards-in-space illustration myself, but it's hardly fair to compare an amateurish original illustration to a technically competent copy of a movie poster. They're different beasts entirely.

Oh whoops, I didn't know that was a poster... Here's some nice original fanart.

I've commented out the link, because the PDF seems to have gone away and the copy of it I have only goes up to chapter 72. I've got email out to its creator asking if he'd like me to host it or transfer the project files so I can keep it up to date.

Here's the chapter 77 PDF in case you want it.

Ah, I see. That's an artifact of the way I set up the hosting, with hpmor.com being a mirror of www.elsewhere.org/rationality/. RSS autodiscovery works because I added tags for it, but the rss feed itself is currently a static file written whenever the update utility runs, so it can't know which URL a browser is requesting it as. I can fix that, though; give me 15 minutes.

I could just have it cycle through the crystal ball, wizards-in-space, and finger-snapping covers at random. I had switched to the space one because Eliezer seems to prefer it, and authors don't often get to have much of a say about the cover art.

I wonder if there would be a reasonable metric for a/b testing?

Cover art has been switched out, and credited in the footer. Although now the web host appears to be having network issues. I should move this to my other host.

What kind of clutter are you seeing in the RSS feed? It looks fine and validates to me, but if there's something else I should be doing, it's easy to modify.

It turns out to be a bit more complicated. The feed explicitly linked from the front page doesn't have clutter, but its links point to [1] etc. instead of [2] etc., which doesn't seem right. On the other hand, if you enter the page URL in Google Reader, it somehow associated with it the feed located at [3], which had the clutter in question in the past, doesn't anymore, but Google Reader remembers... I'm guessing there must be some standard suffix starting from an URL that specifies a feed-by-default, which is checked first by a feed reader when it's given a non-feed URL, and it's absent for the front page; I'd guess it should be [4]. Edit: URLs don't format well in comments, so some are included in form of links.
