TEMPLATE UPDATING

I will be switching over to a new, improved template. The new Blogger doesn't allow the new layout GUI feature on a template chosen in the old blogger. The HTML has changed radically, enough so that it's a real bear to implement the expanding/collapsing post options. So this blog will seem a tad...askew as I put items in the places I desire most. This will be temporary only (probably in the course of a few hours), and I should have a finished product by today. I have saved a backup of the old HTML/template, and have been fiddling with a test blog, to acquaint myself with the newer features (and the shortcuts I can implement).
For the nonce, you should be able to read freely, and comment.
Multiple and profuse apologies if the remodeling inconveniences anyone.

Yeah, they really do make it a pain in the ass, don't they? I've been thinking about updating too, but I want to stay with a 3-column template and there are few which will work with the new format so far.

They do, but once the work is done, you can rearrange links, pictures, etc, at WILL, rather than copy 'n paste inside the HTML.

Yeah, I'm starting to get a thing about wasted space: is there such a thing as TOO much content, though? I've been puttering around w/the 3 column format. Anything you can point me to is appreciated.
