Well now my blog is looking colourful if nothing else!
Still haven't worked out how to push the widgets out to the sidebar, (as other bloggers have done) despite trudging around in Layout, edit template and who knows what else....
What magic is this? All manner of aids which appear as if by magic in my blog! I can see how you could apply widgets to our work; quick access to newsfeeds, or podcasts are very handy.
