I'm fucked if I know
I've been frigging around with the template here for a couple of hours. When I look at it using the 'preview' facility it looks OK; I've gotten rid of the underlines on hyperlinks as well as making the link colours less garish, changed the colour of the text in the title and subtitle to make it stand out more, resized the main content background photo, gotten rid of the leftover bits of brown from the old colour scheme and put in a border on the side of the main content to differentiate the sidebar a bit more. (The photo of Leigh Adams and Niki Pedersen that formed the background of the profile container had to go; when I tried to use it as the background for the sidebar wrapper I kept getting a black margin between repeats, which I couldn't get rid of.
However, whenever I try to load the page in a browser, not only are the links underlined again, but they're in weird colours, the text colour in the header has changed so that you can hardly see it, let alone read it.
Frankly, I am somewhat slightly baffled as to what to do; I'm not sure how to fix it, 'cause I'm not sure that it's even broken.; it may be the result of an argument between my 'pooter and Blogger. Or maybe too many changes over too shart a period of time has caused Blogger to have a mid-life crisis, although every time that I was satisfied that a change worked I saved it and republished the whole lot. Dunno.
Feedback as to what it looks like would be appreciated. If I've caused too much damage, I'll just swap over to a new template and see how much abuse that one will take.

You're doing good.
I'm using an antiquated version of IE, so this is what I see. The links are good, no underlines, seems a brown red which turns a khaki when rolled over.
The single background image is MUCH better. Good decision there. As is the line to define the side bar. I personally would prefer something finer and solid, but that's just a personal preference.
Your browser might have a preset override for link colours etc that's overriding what you've put into blogger... check your browser preferences before pulling the blog apart again.
Shoot me an email if you want any graphics mangled... I mean manipulated. Might be able to do something for your banner.
Looks nice to me :)
The side bar looks out of whack. Maybe the font size needs to be smaller? I use Firefox, btw.
When I view it the side bar appears well under the posts, the grey colour is easier on the eye
You appear to have formatting problems.
Chicky babe, I installed firefox and would like to properly uninstall it as my uninstall has left little problems like when I click on a link from an e-mail it looks for firefox instead of IE any suggestions?
The reason I uninstalled firefox is that I could not get it to work
Puters are ‘a mystery to me’
Cheers Stumpy.
