Art Degree =/= Graphic Designer

So, my two whole subscribers, if I may be so presumptuous as to assume you have been viewing my blog, you have seen my sad attempts at web design in learning how to customize the Blogger layout.  Fortunately, with the power of Google, I was able to fix it a little bit!  I am still having issues with text showing up over background images (as you can see to the right), and other minor things, as well as my perfectionism in terms of finding the perfect fonts to fit the style, etc.  Anyway, please consider this my apology for the massive amount of changes that have happened here.  Hopefully it will be over soon, and I will find something I can live with!  Please, please, provide suggestions, criticism, input, rants, praise, etc. in the comments section of this post.  I welcome criticism.
