Look at my fancy new tabs, right at the top, hanging on my header/ banner. Thanks to Annie at Blog U.
I need to work on changing the colours, that blue doesn't go with my overall theme. Too tired to fiddle with anything else tonight. Back to work tomorrow after all. Another week of vacation time would be nice. I could get all the things on my list done, maybe. :D
I think the biggest blog development thing now is reducing, recycling or hiding clutter in the sidebar and blog in general. People are using three column layouts to try having more space for clutter. I think this is not the best plan. I really like the 3 column footer which is like sweeping your clutter under the rug. Still, it's hidden from the main blog view. It's not right at the entrance to be tripped over. Clutter is a big ongoing issue for bloggers to work on.
I'd write more but I'm too tired.

You are correct about clutter. It is so easy to accumulate every button and banner out there. I like folks who have those dropdown widgets or who have separate page for those things. However, I don't know if those dropdown widgets help with the page load. Some blogs take FOREVER to load because of all the buttons.
Nice work on the tabs :)
I'd like to find a way to put just a bit more space in between my sidebar and my main text area, but I can't figure out the coding. I'm only about a third grader when it comes to HTML.
I've been moving to 3 columns myself! I like having stuff in the sidebar, and 2 sidebars make for more stuff. LOL I hope it's not too cluttered though, I understand what you mean.
I really like your tabs! I like your whole skin especially the flowers in the bottom corner.
Looks great. I've already used a few things she's done, like expanding buttons and double-headers. I'll get around to the tabs one day.
I like your tabs! I've wanted them for some time but have not been able to quite "comprehend" how to do it. lol
I know what you mean about sidebar clutter. I've been trying to de-clutter and organize, I've also started rotating things from the bottom to the top, to allow people to see things they might not notice otherwise.... I'm frustrated though and haven't quite come up with a solution I like yet! :)
just show bloggers' different way..just to earn those cents.. hehehe
cheers!

I really like the clean way your blog looks, and that footer is a great idea. I know I need to reduce clutter on my blog.
I love the tabs, its a great idea.
Clutter? Now whats wrong with clutter? Have you been looking in my house? Seriously, I agree with the whole clutter thing. I am only in 1st grade when it comes to doing anything with blogger. It looks very good and you should be proud that you did it yourself. Me? I have to ask how. Duh!
