Technical Difficulties
When I opened my blog yesterday the formatting was wonky. I managed to fix it but decided that I didn’t really like the layout anymore and switched back to the previous template which has a less cluttered look. I originally changed it a few years ago so that the blog would work better with mobile devices. Let me know if you are having difficulty viewing the new/old format.
