And good thought on the search box, I'll see about changing that label. As for the template, most of the blog's design work was done with a theme I found via the Wordpress theme browser: <ahref ="http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php">http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php Then I tacked the banner on the top, played with the background color, and reorganized the sidebar a bit. So it really is a ready-made template too, just with a few tweaks. Took me a lot less time than building from scratch.</ahref> Thanks!

I just launched our first library blog yesterday. Unfortunately, I went with a ready-made template from Typepad, since the blog is about our imminent remodeling project. And, since we don't have anyone with graphics chops on staff. But, yours is great! One question/comment: I assume the "search" box is for the blog, not the library. You might want to make that more clear. At first, I thought...oh, cool, a link to the catalog...but figured it out pretty quickly. I just felt a little...cheated. Or, maybe college students are more savvy than the typical library user? Nice! I just launched our first library blog yesterday.

You don't give yourself enough credit. We'd be nowhere without your Flash Hax0rz. I'm quite proud of it myself. We can pretty much go anywhere we need to with it and it will look just about the same.
