New year, new look

To celebrate the new year, I thought it'd be a good time to change my blog layout. While the black background may upset more traditional-minded Chinese readers, I think the pink links atone for that, right?

I'd originally planned to change the layout for January 1, but didn't get around to figuring out enough CSS to be able to tweak Blogger's standard templates to suit my whim and fancy. The other problem with relying on Blogger's standard templates --- and most of those on Blogskins are just too annoying --- is that all these other Blogger users whom I read are inevitably already using them. I've barely avoided looking identical to Mr Miyagi as it is.
