New Look

I have received several emails regarding the aesthetics of the blog. Some have complained that while the black background looks cool, it is not easy on the eyes. I know that Andrew Sullivan's white-on-blue background is often a source of complaints, and I'd hate to lose some of my first readers as a result. So please weigh in on if you like this look or not, and if you know of a lot of other blogs that have chosen this particular appearance.

I wouldn't use this, myself (that green!), but it's better than the eye-popper you had before.

I kind of like the ugly green. I had another that I liked as well, but the coding was bizarre for links, and I am new enough at this that I really did not want to have to put that sort of work into my blog.

I've been using this template for a year now (except my green is pink--maybe they knew I'm a girl?), and I find that it's less easily customized than some of the other blogger templates. If you plan to gradually tweak things, this might not be an ideal base template.

Rhonda --
Huh. I'd hate to go back to the drawing board, as I am finally comfortable with this (well, until the next thing I cannot figure out how to do). What sorts of things have proven especially problematic -- I doubt I'll be making any huge adjustments given my techno-inhibited ways.

It's mostly the column widths that have proven resistant to my efforts to change them. And when I make changes to the sidebar (which I do kind of frequently), I find that the divider lines in the main column get wonked up. They're small things, but they're always small things for which I can't find workarounds.
