Everyone seems to want to visit one now! What have I done?

The 'st's and 'ct's are a kind of old typographic convention. I use them because I like old books and I think they look nifty, although I'm still a bit unsure about how well they sit with modern readers. Here's an example from an old type specimen where you can see some 'ct's. There are no 'st's because they used a long s back then.

I'm ſane enough not to uſe long 's's on my webſite, though. I have ſome common ſenſe.
