A New Look!

So, I finally settled for a new look on the blog. I really like the big Feature Image pics. They give it a little something that the French call… I don’t know what.

I do have some issues with it though…

Having been out for less than a week, a few bugs are to be expected. Some of these could have been easily avoided if I didn’t suck so much. There are things that suck. And things that I suck at. Let’s review these things so far.
