Tweaked For 2012

I finally did it!
A brand new 3-column look for my blog to ring in the New Year!

I've always wanted a 3-column blog but could never macgyver the old template the right way. This new "layout" is one offered within Google-Blogger's own system, so there are no image hosting issues or other strange things to worry about.
UPDATE: I found out how to make a proper installation of the StumbleUpon button HERE! Now you can "Stumble" and individual post when you land on that specific post's page (URL).
I simply made a text copy of my old template and isolated each widget and feature I wanted to keep. I did lose a couple of things along the way, like the little "snapshots" feature and the "you might also like" but I may be able to recover them later, if needed...

The strangest thing is the loss of over 180 "Google Friends" who seem to have vaporized...

Even if Google do not look at them as before, my answerd is yes. A blogroll is more simple than to speak about someone on an article as I do in my Revue, everyday ...
