Site Changes

So if you've visited the blog more than once over the past couple days (and you haven't), you would have seen it change a few times. That's because Blogger changed and updated their design features giving a little more freedom to the way you can rigidly construct a blog from a now slightly less narrow set of options. I'm not a huge fan of any of the new features, and this new background kind of hurts my eyes, but I don't like most of the other options.

Opinions?
