Messing with the Theme

I'm playing around with the theme of the blog, so don't be too surprised if things look a bit weird or different than before. Blogger has released a new batch of standard themes a few months ago that has more features than what I was using before, and I've been meaning to take advantage of these new features. There is nothing majorly wrong with the blue theme that has served this blog for a better part of 2 years, but it's a bit generic looking and it's about time to refresh the look. I'll also move some widgets around to hopefully make this site easier to use. The move to the new theme is a work in progress at this point, but the finished product will probably look similar other than an extra banner and background image(s).
