In progress ...

I managed to adapt a template inside Blogger so that it works for my site. I am still working some of the style elements, but it almost there. I started with Douglas Bowman's Minima design, which as its name suggest is nice and minimal. I copied out the provided template code, and then moved over the blogger tags into my own blank template, tweeked the css so it worked for my site, and then pasted back into the edit template box. Not too labor intensive for someone who wants to just learn this stuff, and doesnt have her whole site revolving around the blog.
