Working On New Design For Blog

Please, bear with me....I'm working on updating my blog design.  Unfortunately, during the process, I lost all my favorite blogs that I had listed on my sidebar...4 years of my favorite blogs, gone within seconds.  I'm in tears.  But, I wanted to make the blog simpler in layout, so maybe this will work.  It may be a crazy mess for the next few days, but hopefully, it will be together soon.  Thanks for understanding.
