Nobody reads those pages anyway, but I finally got around to fixing the layout of the category and date archive pages. So the righthand column is no longer empty, and I made some relatively careful decisions about the crap that oughta be available in that sidebar on those page. So....if you're one of 3 people who's ever gone through and read every post via the archives, you no longer have to jump back to the index to get to a different archive.
What I didn't do yet is redesign anything else, which is overdue. Nor have I written anything of consequence lately. Depending on your perspective, that last fact may or may not matter much.
