I spent an­oth­er cou­ple of hours tweak­ing the blog tem­plates, and the lat­est is half-rea­son­able. Still a few prob­lem­s:

• The ban­n­er is very ug­­ly on IE

• Stuff is mis­­aligned (too much margin/­­padding tweak­ing)

But hey, it work­s, and it looks ok, which is more than the usu­al.

I am al­so try­ing feed­burn­er's site stats ser­vice, which is pret­ty de­cen­t.
