I've done a whole lodda work on this one, and it's a major CSS model, so it should be ask quick as a... erm... fox.

Please do feel free to leave comments!

 Fin: Whoopeee! I hope that you can all see this comment okay!

I've yet to do the archive page and recent posts list thing yet, but it's top of my list so it shouldn't take too long!

 Fin: Everything has been sorted out now, and the entire blog is now furnished in this (ahem) lovely new template.

I'm proud of it because it's mine, from the ground up. And most of the coding was done today.

I also spent a hell of a lot of time fine tuning some of the aspects of how posts look. Now, under posts you can see nice new permalink and comment buttons which light up when you put your cursor over them! How nice!

For each comment, the author's name displays in bold next to a little page icon. This icon should, like the post permalink icon, light up when you go to have a look at the author's profile, but unfortunately Blogger's system prevents this. Never mind, though. I'm sure I'll find a way around it in the coming few days.

 Fin: Hmm. Not too sure about those bullet points, though. I did whip them up rather quickly...

 Fin: Oh my goodness! I just can't stop commenting! They all appear so beautifully on the page! :P

 Fin: I really do have to stop posting and do my Physics homework for tomorrow.

 Fin: Oh, and I don't know if you have noticed the new blockquote box yet, but it's there and it looks damn fine! :)

 Anonymous: Wow, Fintan, this is, I must say, quite hot. Apparently some people hold that opinion of you personally; I do hold it of your design. Very neat - great graphics, too.

 Fin: Thanks very much, Kevin!

 Anonymous: Oh, although I don't know about the picture of you, though, it doesn't seem oriented quite right - maybe centered would be good.

 Anonymous: No, I changed my mind - it's good.

 Anonymous: Oh, and miracle of miracles, it works on IE and Firefox. Will the wonders see no end?

 Fin: lol That's okay! :}

 Fin: I've just noticed how the white highlights don't look too nice on a computer with a lower colour capacity.

I'll try to change it later on...

 Fin: Kevin - I'm not sure about that photo either. It's a bit old now and I might take a new one.

 Blogger: Wow! its amazing! I'm really liking the new look! And the Quotation marks! cool! wow! cool! woo! w00t! woosh! and any othe strange noises you can thik of! wooo!

 Fin: Vroooom! :P
