problem was my output was being printed before strip_tags was called, and the output from strip_tags wasn't being printed at all!

I now have a completely valid home page for Rat's Reading.

So I just upgraded Rat's Reading to the latest version of Simplr, the theme for it. It's the equivalent of Livejournal's styles.

Unfortunately, more than a one thing doesn't work the same way as it used to in the old version. So now I have a few hours worth of hacking to get it all ship shape.

I'll probably get a better schooling in PHP and Wordpress than I did last time I hacked Simplr up.
