Under construction

As you may be able to tell, my blog theme now looks very very basic.  Well, for all intents and purposes, it doesn't have a theme right now.  I'm a compulsive tinkerer, and so I've decided that I'm not happy with any of the themes that are currently out there.  So, in order to have some fun, have some more control, and to learn some more, I'm going to create my own theme, based off of the Wordpress Default theme.  So, hopefully, this will start to look better as I continue to learn and write more. (I wanted to have one of those animated .gifs of an under construction sign with a guy digging, but I felt that was a little too 1996.)
