Design changes

So obviously I am attempting - perhaps futilely - to prettify things in here. The yellow was just starting to bug me. But Blogger does not make things easy - ARGH! I know some of you out there have absolutely gorgeous blogs - where do you get your banners? After spending 2 hours trying to make one and having Blogger resize it to NOT fit EVERY single time, I am ready to throw my laptop out!

Enough of that... let's see if I can post something useful before bedtime. Organization, anyone?
