of the many talents i wish i had, right behind playing the piano & guitar, and speaking at least two foreign languages fluently, comes my desire to write html code.
sure, i can find something i like, and play with it until i get it where i want it, but sometimes there are tricks that elude me. as such, when it is time to update the blog, an extensive search is conducted to find an appealing template. lately, that search has been drier than i would like.
however, i finally landed on one yesterday. though it required a fairly major overhaul, i am remarkably pleased. you'll notice that the menu bar to the left is far simpler and less overwhelming than it once once. moving links and archives to their own sub pages helped with that. you will also notice that the music does not automatically play anymore, and this is one of those things for which i cannot find a solution. so, for those of you who still want to listen to the new music i post....when i am motivated enough to post new music...you can access it through the 'playlist' link at the left.
this is a complete 180 from what the website has been in the past, so i'll be curious to hear your thoughts!

hmmmm. no comments? even if you hate it, i want to know!
I don't hate it. Though I've never been fond of the "window inside a window" feel I get with stationary backgrounds.
It looks pretty.
lol. thanks aaron. it is definitely the one drawback. at this point the design alternatives are sadly lacking, but i am always on the look out.
Not sure if it's because you fixed it, but the music plays when the page loads for me.
One thing I'm not sure I like is that you can't open Comments in their own window--right-clicking on the link doesn't bring up the context menu.
l, i did fix the music thing...it definitely put my photoshop and html coding abilities to the test.
i am still trying to figure out the comments thing as well--it bugs me too.
Voting to not vote at this time :)
Though, sometimes I just stop by the hear the playlist - found some great groups that way.
Same reason all my TVs are widescreen, so I don't have to endure letterbox.
And shouldn't it be "bloglift".
Though I didn't notice any sagging...
I see you changed the layout again - this new one gets my vote. Well placed with easy to read text (cause thats why we come here, to read your thoughts, really).
