Yes, how does everybody like the new look? The old look was a little . . . plain. The look is just a side change, though; what motivated me to start messing with the template was the "comments" section. I was using HaloScan, a third-party commenting system. While scanning through my archives, I realized that the old comments were not being kept -- they were discarded after a certain length of time. I did a little research, and discovered that Blogger, my blog service provider, has started offering a commenting system that does not discard older comments. Since the comments was one of the best parts of the blog, I decided to switch.

During the switch, I noticed that they had a lot of new templates developed. I picked one I liked, transferred my links over, and hey presto! A new look for an old blog.

One downside is that my comments section gets targeted by spam now. Just ignore it; I can delete the posts.
