Under construction

I know, I know. But it's late. I'll be getting rid of the old borders tomorrow.

UPDATE: This--the banner you see above--is what I'm after--this, or something close to it. Any comments would be welcome. Many thanks to Mrs. Meridian for "design help" (a euphemism for "doing just about the whole damned thing") with the banner and to marie b., a member of BlogAdvance, for help with the template.
