This is something I could never post over on my AOL blogs because it's a table, and that's one bit of html code AOL doesn't allow in journal entries. That's one reason I'm going to start limiting the AOL Cyber Chocolate to memes and links and short (1-3 sentences) snatches of my life, and everything else that doesn't fit one of my other blogs will go here.

The other reasons? I can edit the template as much as I want/can figure out. By changing the point size of the font in the template, I don't have to change it for the entries. I can save a post as a draft and work on it until it's done. So, expect this blog to get a bit busier in the future.
