New blog template

I'm trying out this new template. I have yet to find one that I really like and the templates given by Blogger don't really seem all that great to me. It seems hard to find something that fits me or the blog itself. I don't know if you noticed or not, but I have 2 links on the left hand side of the page. You can't click on them to take you to their sites, plus it put a space between them! I followed the instructions, but I guess I am an HTML dummy. I guess that's why my blog isn't called "HTML web design wizard".

Anywho, i'm going to keep this at least for a few days until I find something better.

Any suggestions, let me know.
