A lot of work over the past week, don't know where and why I allow myself these chunks of time - but the look was getting a little stale. Plus, I got the idea to position the AdSense better, and everything kinda cascaded from there ...

• 
  Header bar - reorg'd the top left stuff into a menu bar of sorts, making room to move AdSense up to top left on the blog pages.


• 
  Gave up on the old ksearch stuff, and just integrated Google search. Positioned search in header bar, like most e-commerce sites do.


• 
  Simplified the RSS links, assuming a bit more "knowledgable" reader


• 
  Added the ability to select multiple color schems; the "original" is 04, other new ones this year given better names


• 
  Cleaning up the CSS, a bit less comments, some hand optimization. I still wan to leave this as a maintainable, self documenting thing, so I am not maxing out the optimization.


• 
  Had to make matching changes in the Blogger template


• 
  Moved the site updates blog to be a link off of the site info page - I'm typically the only one to read this anyway
