Ch-Ch-Changes

In case you can't tell, I've decided to do some redesigning of my blog, and have added some new bits and bobs to it. However, I'm not sure if it looks alright, so any feedback on what looks good and what needs improving, eg colour schemes, too many things cluttered.. would be much appreciated. Obviously I want to do what I can to make the blog as spiffing as possible. Cheers.
