I have made several changes to the blog recently. The most noticeable is that I got a new template. I had outgrown the old template. Too much stuff shoved into the sidebar. I had thought I would try to make my own. Writing CSS didn’t seem too hard. And it isn’t that hard really, but getting it to work at multiple resolutions in different browsers and with blogger, that is a little more challenging. Luckily, I found a template out there that was almost exactly what I had been trying to make. With just a few tweaks I had just what I wanted.

I also had moved from blogspot to blogcafe back in August. I’m very happy with their hosting. I get more control over the site and its still free.
I’ve also added some ads. I hope they don’t offend too much. Go ahead and click on one for fun;) or not.

I am looking for some feedback on the site (appearance or otherwise) feel free to leave comments. I may or may not act on them. Since I am still my own best audience my opinions are going get much more weight.

I got some new hiking boots yesterday. They are pretty fancy but still need some breaking in. I’ll be wearing them around for a while to break them in. The real test will be in about month. I have a 25 mile backpacking trip planned. I can’t wait.

My parting thought to you is an article about Cyberextortion. Can you imagine, “That’s a nice web site you’ve got there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.”

That’s just plain creepy!
