I've changed blog theme. They added some new ones thiis week and I finally found one that is just about exactly what I want. I'm a lot happier with the layout now and it should prove much easier to read.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

Thanks, ladies... Beates, sadly it's not the premiere tickets- I wish it was. I'm just excited to have gotten the Telegraph tickets.

I also figured out how to add links to the sidebar and have now added FMUK too it.

Yeah, that's the same bloody formatting issue when I copy and paste the text from MS Word. I run the proofread option but it misses some of those.

I get what you're saying about the sidebar, but it's quite readable as one scrolls down, which is what I do want, after all. Plus it's pretty easy to access my Twitter page from there if anyone is really interested in my tweets. I'm happy enough with it at this point. The major issues are sorted, I think.

Looks good but obviously you've optimised it for a particular resolution. At 1920x1200 it looks like this:

Your background image gets hidden behind the text rather than visible just to the right (which, at smaller width, does indeed look very nice). If you can centre the image that would fix it for all resolutions.

What's definitely worth finding is the option to change the background colour and make it black, because as you can see there's an awkward pink around your image.
Top 50 Poster!
