New layout

It may not look like much yet, but I am in the middle of a major facelift for my blog. As of right now, all I have done is switched back to black text on a white background and changed the layout. You can download my layout and use it if you want. I started with a three-column template from this site and tweaked it a bit (moved the left column to the right and added a square above).

The reason I am doing this is that my blog looked pretty shabby and I am now trying to improve it (with the goal of attracting more traffic). I decided the best way to do this was to look at how "real bloggers" did their sites, so I looked at some of my favorite "net celebrity" blogs for ideas.

• John C. Dvorak
  
• Leo Laporte
  
• Robert Scoble
  
• Veronica Belmont
  
• Barack Obama
  
• Phil Windley
  

Of course, I am open for ideas from my adoring fans. Next step is adjusting the advertisements, then on to the widgets. . . .
