house-cleaning and updates

(No, I don't mean real housecleaning!)

I think I'm going to mess with this thing a little bit, which may lead to disaster, since I don't really know what I'm doing. But it's always bugged me that there's so much green space on either side of the print column--sheer waste, if you ask me--and I'd like to add a third column. I've found some directions for doing both on betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com, so I think that's how I'm going to spend the weekend. Hopefully, I won't wind up completely deleting Knittin' with the Ts!

I saw a blog recently that had a widget that gave you a drop-down menu for your tags, which meant the blog didn't have this long list trailing down the side of the page, and I'm hoping to discover how to do that, too. Along with adding one of those great bar graphs that shows your progress on your knitting projects (that could be a humiliating display... nevertheless, I think they're cool).

So anyhow. I guess I'm going to learn some html code whether I want to or not!
