Playing around with Blogger

Hey sleepy friends

As you can see, I've been playing around with the design of my blog here on Blogger. Although it's a tad "undesigned" now, I do think it's easier to read. I'm debating whether to move the site to the server that hosts my site angelynngrant.com but still keep it Blogger-driven, move it but make it Wordpress-driven, move it to Squarespace, or just leave it as is and tinker. Whichever I choose, I will be tweaking the design as I go along. If you have an opinion, let me know at coffee@wmbr.org.
