Summer at last; with it a new template.

I finally tired of the sage-green theme of the original template that has served me well for nine months, indeed ever since I started this journey into blogging. Summer has finally arrived here and so I decided to make a few changes to the template for a start.
I hope I haven't broken anything else while doing this! If you find that I have indeed broken something, or you simply don't like the new layout, please either post a comment or e-mail me.

August 5: I noticed a few quirks (including one image that had gone AWOL) this afternoon and have hopefully fixed them now. If you spot any errors of fact, then I'm probably responsible. Please just let me know!
