Sometimes blogging can be Confusing

I have determined that my blogging layout skills are lacking. I have been trying to clean up my side-bar, as suggested by some sites that offer tips on blogging, but I'm not having much luck.

So far I have tried using a un-ordered list, a drop-down list of sorts, and two different scripts from Flooble--Hierarchical Select Menu & a Floating Menu. All of them have worked in some way but none have been a perfect fit.

So I will be going back to the un-ordered list, so much for making my side=bar cleaner. I will keep trying and searching for a solution.

Articles Of Interest

This is an unusual post to say the least. Below you will find a mass of links to articles I need to read and absorb; but I'm so far behind that I haven't had time to organize them. Since I am in the process of swapping computers (my laptop is dying slowly- so am trying to transfer 1000's of files to another computer--what fun!!) I am just going to ad them as as for now so I don't lose the information.
