Oh gosh, that's better
It's amazing what a little CSS can do to a website. The styling isn't exactly where I want it to be, but it's way better than it was. At this point I think it's probably good enough that I can move my focus to the next stage of my plan: an integrated RSS reader. I think it makes a lot of sense to have the RSS reader be in the same place as the blog. It'll keep me on top of things when dealing with website issues, and maybe I can figure out some sort of reposting method. But maybe I should focus on markdown support first - I'm sorely in need of paragraph breaks.
