still experimenting

I'm experimenting with different layouts and templates trying to get something that is attractive and easy to read.
I'd really like a freehand style font for my title, since that's what I use on my business cards and on my Etsy shop, but there doesn't seem to be one readily available.
I also want to add a couple of SideBars to add links to other people's sites, but still haven't seen how to do that.
I will probably be making changes for a while until I get what I want.
