New Template Design

For those wondering why I haven't posted recently, it is because I have been teaching myself CSS so that I could re-design my blog template/layout. Roughly 90% of my visitors are using 1024 x 768dpi or higher resolutions, so I decided to make better use of this space. The main (center) column now automatically re-sizes based on the width of your browser window. If you maximize the window you should see more of each article without having to scroll.

I also added a new feature to the blog. In the lower right hand column you will see a new section entitled "Books I'm Currently Reading". Under that are the titles of my current reads, along with a very brief description of what they are about, a small picture of their covers and a link to buy the books from Amazon.com. In addition to helping my readers find new good books, these Amazon.com links will help support this blog as I will receive a small commission for the books and any other products you buy after clicking on these links. Thank you in advance to those of you who choose to support my efforts in this way.

Please leave me your comments about the new layout. In particular, if you are having any problems with this new layout, please let me know what internet browser and screen resolution you are using so I can try to resolve the issue. I have tested this layout in FireFox and Internet Explorer, and would especially like feedback from users of other browsers.
