What do you do when the server closes early for maintenance? Well in my case, you play around with a new banner then you go do the washing up. I'm not sure it turned out quite how it looks in my head. What do you think?

I don't know how to do half the things I want to in this blogger template. The rounded corners give me a headache and the colour scheme is a mess. I'm not sure how to change the background colour, and even if I did I couldn't because the rounded corners are made by tiny images in the same colour. And why did nobody tell me the tag cloud is MASSIVE in Firefox!?

I'm going to have to do some serious research. In the meantime, if you have any tips for customising a blogging template please let me know.
