A Makeover, Finally

I guess it was fear of the unknown but I finally took the big leap into 2009 and upgraded my blogger layout. Not only is the layout different, but the editing features make everything so much more easy. Plus I even added a way to subscribe to my blog and added Feedburner!!! So happy, except....I'd love to be able to put in a background that was a little more me. I know I'd have to delve into the abstract world of html, so this may be the way it is until I get brave again, if I get brave again.
Sometimes it takes a lazy husband that wants to sit around watching tv and a rainy day to get me glued to the computer ready to take action. Love to know your thoughts and opinions.
