I’ve gotten tired of my “mellow melon” colors, and have decided to “take back” the color red. I’m not letting the american neo-cons (or whatever they are) spoil a whole color for me! It’s still pretty much the same template, just stuck in new images. I’m still not sure about the color of the text area.

[–06/25/06 – It’s almost a year later! – With this post, I inadvertently stepped into an extended flame war. It’s still going on, if you can believe it.
