What do you think of my new template?

I never really loved the old template I was using on this blog. I had some frustrations with it when I tried to tweak the html, and although the new blogger has a drag and drop feature that you can use to customize your templates I decided to stick with html.
I can't take credit for this layout of course, except for choosing it. I didn't do much tweaking to it other than to add my music player and to do the links and etc. I also took my virtual pets off because for some reason their cartoony goodness just didn't fit in with the classier look of this blog. I am sure they will either make a return appearance on some other template in the future, or I may put them over with the boys' pets on the other blog.
So let me know what you think of the new look. (That includes those of you that I know who may be somewhat anti chocolate.)
Someday I will learn more about html and maybe try designing a template from scratch. Its on my list of things I would like to learn more about.
Anyhow, I hope everyone is having a great and sincerely noncommercial Valentine's Day!

WOW!! I love it. How in the world did you get that template? I'd love to change up my other private blog but I don't know how to make it fancy like this.

Dapoppins...I think all you have to do is change the margin in your template. I noticed that there is a place in your code that has a 25 pixel margin, and I think if you made that more like five pixels it would take some of that gap out between the body of your text and your sidebar. I could be totally wrong before. Your friend that does your template for you would probably know how to fix that. She knows more than I do about that kind of thing.
