Removing My Blog's Customizations

I've removed most of my customizations to this blog's layout, style, and functionality, especially the behind the scenes stuff. I just haven't had the time to look after things (which, so far, had not been a problem due to my blog's "low" readership). I've gone back to one of the standard templates and am adjusting from there.

One significant change is the removal of the fully-justified text. I used to think, "Hey, computers are powerful enough to fully-justify all of the time. Do it. After all, since it is used in so many printed books, newspapers, magazines, etc., it must be the preferred way." Over the years I've learned some important things about text and the human ability to read it. In this case, monitors have a lower resolution than printers have, so it is better to use sans-serif fonts and do not fully-justify when displayed on the screen.
