I’ve got a new do

Several days ago, I made some uninformed, inflammatory comments about Richard Bartlett’s site. He kindly pointed out my “glass house” and implied that I should beware throwing stones. This incident caused me to consider a change of design, but I was not really sure that I wanted to. The catalyst for change came today when I accidentally and unknowingly deleted part of a tag and ruined my old template. I thought to myself, “Self, you’re (I’m) going to have to reload a template anyway since you (I) don’t want to search through the whole source code, so you (I) might as well load a new template. And self, while you’re (I’m) at it, why don’t you (I) use one of your (my) own pictures as background.” All I had on hand was a low-quality jpeg that I took over spring break. Then I adjusted it out to proper dimensions so that it would not tile on most people’s screens, and it now looks very pixelated. That’s fine for now, but I will adjust it for clarity’s sake. I also need to add the comment code. And, I think that some of my tags are producing black text when they need to produce this lovely burnt umber or orange or whatever girls and Home Depot employees call this hue. I’m having particular trouble with blockquotes. I shall ascertain which areas need work and fix them later, after I have studied for my thermodynamics quiz.
