STJ updated to Wordpress 2.1.3

( General )

As always, let me know if you see any problems. (Making good use of my extra hour today).  Also finally cleared out comment spam and moderated 8 legit comments — my apologies to those who got stuck in the queue for so long.  I’m amazed how my iPhone hype post still gets so much traffic.
