And what’s even better? They look at me like I’m some sort of slacker when I tell them that none of that stuff has been setup yet.

Yeah I’m in a really good mood now! Grrr.

“I rule!” First off, I did figure out what was going on with my template here, turns out it was my fault, blogger didn’t like those ampersand characters in the javascript for the blogrolling.com stuff, so I’m going to simply keep a copy of my template code as a text file on the server and…
