new template
Well, here it is: a brand new template, the biggest overhaul I've had on this blog since I started blogging almost three years ago. The black text on the white background should make it easier to read, and the new font is a little more pleasant to the eye as well. I've widened the content from 800 pixels to 990 pixels (sorry to those folks who have an 800 pixel wide screen). Moving both sidebars to the right has given the blog a less "busy" appearance.
I've also cut out a few cartoons, and rearranged some of the single-panel cartoons to fit together two to a row. The final change was to add a permanent Sudoku game; it appears just before the cartoons, and now people can play sudoku right on this blog.
I've still got a little tweaking left to do, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I'd appreciate any critiques of the new template. Like it? Hate it? Have further suggestions? Let me know.
Update: Thanks to Lone Pony for checking out the new template in Firefox for me and for showing me how to do Technorati tags. I've added tags to most of the last 300 or so posts (that's seven hours of my life I'll never get back, but hey, anything to support my shameless quest for more traffic to the blog).

Looks good, RG.
It looks great Ed! Love the colors. Colours. *grin* The white background and so much blue on the sidebars and blogrolls give it a clean look. Much easier to read. The width is perfect with IE. With Firefox, it's pretty wide. I had to scroll side to side, but that's just because your tracker and visa show up in a third sidebar on the right.
Ed, the new format look great. Although it's simple, it, as mentioned by someone else, looks 'clean'. Although it fits on my screen, I'm used to leaving the bookmarks pane open so I have to close that to see the whole thing. Not an issue if I want a quick read of just the posts.
Yes a lot easier to read!
Yeah, Dick, I have to do the same thing; then again, the far right sidebar is just newsfeeds and buttons for the most part, so I don't really need to see the whole thing all the time.
