New look and new features, please vote!

I have decided to go with a new look for the blog. I'm kinda liking the change, what do you think? I set up a poll, so be sure to vote if you like it or not. As my friend Philip says, "Sometimes you gotta go outside the norm, try the spicy mustard!" I guess I'm going outside the norm with blog templates? I tell ya, I obviously have too much free time this evening if I am writing about what color of background I have for my blog.

have added another poll for you to vote in also. I'm curious who you would vote for the next President of the United States. It is totally anonymous, I'm just curious what the rest of the world is thinking. Don't take my polls too seriously, It's really just something for me to do to pass the time, plus I want to give you all some voting practice prior to November.
