I protest.

Well, here we go...

The first entry of this blog. First off, I hate the default index template. The format sucks. I want a banner across the top, more white space around the title of the blog and at least a column of links, etc. on the left. Maybe another on the right. And put the calendar on the right as well.

Of course, to do all of this I'll either have to track down some (fairly simple!) sample templates, or learn how to do it myself. And there doesn't seem to be any such thing as "simple" Movable Type templates. Feh. I don't want tons of graphics, backgrounds, pastels and whatnot, I just want a clean, clear page with enough whitespace that entries are readable and the page doesn't seem cluttered. Apparently this is too much to ask.

This is a start, anyway.
