Life is short and those who spend too much time worrying about how their blog looks will invariably miss out on something better.  That’s been my thinking for the past four years.  The old look of this blog always bothered me but I could never really figure how to fix it (so, in fact, it wasn’t because I was out appreciating life, rather I didn’t have the skills to get the job done).  It had a very narrow column for the entries, not enough information available on the homepage, no “About Me” page, and after all these years the whole thing seemed really old to me.  This past year I’ve tried to do a bit of cleaning up and uprgrading on this blog (no more viriuses!), but could never find a decent new theme for the website.  While I’m not sold on this theme, nor has it been tweaked enough to my tastes, we’re going to stick with it for the time being.  Suggestions welcome.
