For anyone who might have been put off by some unwieldy cookie consent banners on this blog, I hope you will now see an improvement. Thanks to a new reader who sounded the alarm, I dug deeper into how to properly set up a consent management system, and changed the default message so it will now allow people to “reject all” in one click. I apologize to anyone who has been annoyed by it in recent months! I’m very much an amateur when it comes to the technical side of running a website, and it’s gotten so much more complicated over the years! But thanks to feedback from the community, I’ve learned a lot and continue to strive to make this site valuable, entertaining, and not infuriating to use.

It takes a village… and notebook people are the best!
