The look and feel of the blog hasn't changed for a couple of years and I'm thinking that maybe it's time to have a look at what the options are for improving the look and feel of it. The dots seemed to be one of the best choices available at the time but Blogger has probably improved the choices since then and made it easier to make things look more compelling.
Keep an eye on the blog in the next few weeks to see if I have the guts and the gumption to make any changes. I'd like to but we will see.
