Oh thanks for the visit, Jim
Always appreciated! The template I'm using now was actually from a site that I found recommended here at Bloggerhub. I like the three-column layout much better than the two-column stock template I had started with... it allows me to keep things uncluttered and it also provides a larger main column for my writing. I find it very functional.
Anyway, I'd still like to know your thoughts on your original question too
I visited your site and really like what you're doing with the patches and all. Do you have concerns about your site design?
