It's up and working. I'm a big big dork, and it annoyed me that I had to chose between tld and www.tld so I created a secondary blog and dropped a wee little javascript refresh into the sidebar of it. Now, if you go to sillypanda.net, it will take you to my blog, and if you go to www.sillypanda.net it will momentarily refresh and then bring you back to my blog. Thus... I defeated the ridiculous Google Hosted Services policies without actually breaking the rules. I still don't have email access completely configured and working, so just continue using my gmail address as you have been. But do please bookmark sillypanda.net as the address for this blog.
K, that's all I got for now... sleep time for a bit, then back to class. Ick.
