Extreme makeover, Roubini Global edition

OK, maybe not an extreme makeover, but some major changes -- including some changes to this blog’s look and feel and more protection against spam.

The site may be down for a while just after 9 pm (Eastern time) tonight for the switchover. Comments made before then should be transferred as well.
