There's nothing wrong with your eyes

I've upgraded my blog hosting account, which gives me a bunch of new options, including the ads you see in the right-hand column. Regrettably, none of the options involve keeping the exact color scheme I had before and just modifying the column widths. Foo. I might tinker with the colors, or maybe fart around with an image banner over the next few days. Please accept my apology in advance if any of this tinkering results in a page that taxes your eyes or assails your aesthetics. That's the beauty of the Web: it's all a work in progress.
