Blogger is now testing a new feature where you have much more control over the look of your blog through a graphical interface.
Go to draft.blogger.com, go to your blog, choose Layout and then click on "Template Designer." You have much more control over the layout, and you can test your changes instantly.
It doesn't quite do what I want to do with this blog, but it is a nice feature that can make the CSS-challenged amongst us create beautiful (and probably very ugly) blogs.
Consider this an open thread....and check out my tweets, as I add interesting articles from others a few times a day.
