JavaScript turned off? No problem

Brett Glass runs his browser with JavaScript turned off.

He says: "Could you make the home page static? By default, my browser won't bring up current page."

Ay caramba!

Short answer: It's fixed. It works now.

Here's what happened...

Okay, all the content of the Blog tab is baked into the page, so it actually is a static page. I just had to change the default setup so that the Blog tab is visible by default. So, if you have JavaScript turned off you can still read Scripting News. I think that's new, I don't think the old version could do that.

Caveat: The names of the tabs will still be displayed above, so that might confuse you. The fix is simple, turn JavaScript on. :thumbsup:

The BBC reports that Iceland's Pirate Party "has tripled its seats in the 63-seat parliament, election results show. It is in joint second place with the Left-Greens -- with 10 seats each." An anonymous reader quotes USA Today: Iceland's hacker-led, upstart Pirate Party failed to make the nation's powerful Independence Party walk the plank after all. The Pirate Party -- led by a former WikiLeaks collaborator -- rode the populist movement sweeping Europe to make big gains in Saturday's election, but returns on Sunday gave the largest bloc of seats to the center-right Independence Party... Pirate Party co-founder Birgitta Jonsdottir, who became involved with WikiLeaks in 2010 after its leader Julian Assange visited Iceland, said she was satisfied with the Pirate plunder at the polls. "Our internal predictions showed 10 to 15%, so this is at the top of the range." Iceland's prime minister was forced to resign in April after the Panama Papers suggested his family had sheltered its personal wealth outside the country.
