Personalizing da Blog

Well, reader, what do you think?  I got around to a little customizing. I like the crimson, how about you? I know in essence it's the same template, but I'll keep adding little changes and improve your experience here. Ultimately, I'd like to increase the popularity of this place and make a little money on the side, courtesy of you, reader, that simply stops by and reads a few articles (I hope), or better yet, clicks on any of the links or adds that are on my site. Do me a favor and let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions to improve the place.
