This is a blank post, put here to deal with problems linking to the top post on the page.
I’m still in relaxation/holiday mode, so I don’t plan a permanent fix of the problem for a while. Thanks to Yobbo, who has pointed out a diagnosis and possible solution in the comments.

That’s what the future is, really – a blank post.
OMMMMMMMMM
John, I also had this problem experimenting with the very same template. The problem is the header div is overlapping the top half-inch of the first post. The link appears but it is not possible to hover over it or click on it. Reduce the size of the header or use relative positioning rather than absolute, and the problem should be solved.
Thanks for this Yobbo, I’ll try to fix it as soon as I get a chance.
Genuine refugees from the Indian Ocean tsunami – yes, please, as many as we can take.
A few dozen jet-setting “refugees” electing of their own volition to endanger their chilren by taking the first-class airline route to Jakarta, connecting to the Kimberley coast of Australia by the short but dangerous “leaky boat” route – none today, thanks. There must be millions of more deserving cases out there (the metaphorical “queue”), and we can’t even take all of those.
