I think I’ve finally got the site tweaked the way I want it. I just finished tonight.
I added the “Most Popular” plugin to the sidebar and tweaked the colors and background to be a bit less harsh on the eyes but not too dark either. The blogroll has been updated and I also added the “related posts” plugin to the post pages.
I also created a page to pull in the most recent 25 del.icio.us posts.
I’m not sure if any of this makes a difference. Studies show that sidebar clicks are almost non-existent, but if you wanted handy stuff on the sidebar I think I’ve got it there.
Because this site is my gift to myself and my sandbox for learning how to do WordPress stuff, I’m opting not to put ads on here. Besides, whatever would I do with the nickel or so they generated? LOL.
Anyway, tell me what you like, don’t like, wish I had, wish I’d get rid of…any and all suggestions are always welcome.

Too funny – here you are adding stuff and I am busy trying how to unclutter or take away stuff. It is looking good! I was wondering where you were going with the red. One thing good about having a not well read blog like mine is: I do not need to figure out the most popular stuff.
Ads stink, ads are annoying, ads … yeah – stay away from the ads!
I liked your flickr badge near the top better – where it could showcase your photos.
