I've been busy the past few days changing the look of my blog. In the past few years the changes were minor, moving around the sidebar, adding or deleting widgets and fooling around with different features. I have been getting a few emails now and again from some of my readers informing me that they find the previous wide format difficult to read. What was easy to read in early 2006, now with much wider monitors is much more difficult.
