I’m trying to teach myself some HTML and CSS code so that I can design a tab box for my side bar that has a tab for “recent comments”, “popular posts” and “archives”, but so far, it’s turning out to be a lot harder than I thought. I would like to de-clutter my blog by creating the tab box, to condense some things. But alas, until an eighth day of the week is created, I doubt I’ll be able to learn very much.
On a side note, if you know of any links or tutorials on this, please let me know. I’ve been looking at THIS ONE, but so far, it’s not working. I found out that it was written for the old blogger templates. 
Have any ideas or thoughts on blog improvement? Favorite blog features that I don’t currently use? Let me know! Contact me at the page above, or just leave a comment here.
And vote. Please, vote. 🙂 Thanks!

I have a similar type of box, but it was a pain to set up and quite honestly, I still don't know just “how” I actually got it to work. I'm not even sure that it looks right to everyone else…hehe!
I followed the tutorial from Confessions of a Homeschooler.
Have fun in your quest and I hear ya on that 8th day of the week!

I can't speak HTML so I'm not the most computer savvy chick in cyberspace, but I get a lot of ideas from just observing what popular bloggers do and try to emulate their strategies. =)

I was going to vote :), but, since I just found your blog, I'm mostly just making my way through archives {since I like to read, and I like to start at beginnings to fully “know” someone :} and I read from the tabs at the top.
I personally have “popular posts” on my blog because I think that generates more “reading” through my archives. I do plan on going through and tweaking it in the next couple months so everything is easy to find for people who are just starting to read.
Anyway, those are my two cents 🙂 I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
