New template, hopefully improving

Due to problems with the old template, I'm experimenting with the new format.

I thank you for your patience!

More to come. . .

Update I'm pretty satisfied with the overall look. Now I'm waiting to hear from the Pajamas Media ad code, and hopefully it'll be all done!

Feedback is appreciated.

Update 2 The finished product looks nice!
(sigh of relief)

Update 3 How about a darker font?
