I got
the heads up from C.B. (my favorite book blog, by the way) that Blogger has
a new template design program and it's pretty awesome. Instead of just a handful of templates that can only be tweaked by color or font, you get handful of templates with
much more flexibility in terms of format, columns, backgrounds, everything. And they have
Pages now! Of course I'm sticking with my minimal layout, but I think it looks better with the new upgrade. If you're on Blogger, give it a whirl.
