as you guys might have noticed, this journal/blogsite has a new look. thanks for all the positive comments thus far. i missed having all the content accessible from one page which was the reasoning behind the switcharoo. i know the site looks very bland and basic, but that was the intention behind the redesign. that header image you see at the top will be canned shortly and i will probably go with rotating headers that change everytime the site is refreshed. of course i have to add the blogarchives and an email form to the left-hand side. any other suggestions/comments or whatever will be greatly appreciated as well so don't hesitate to go to town on me.
