Pardon my Progress - of sorts

It came upon me today that I must have a three column blog. I don't know why, but the idea possessed me so now I'm in the middle of trying to put it all back together. I'm rather sad that I can't seem to get my quick response clicky thingies to show up. They're showing in my settings, but aren't showing on the actual blahg.

Also, I want one of those tag /topic cloud thingies. Where would one fine a nice code for that? I'm too idiotic and old to do anything much past cut and paste since the last time I took a computer class the Apple IIe was the most up-to-date thing available.

Thanks!

 P.S. I don't moderate the responses, so please feel to post. I don't, however, accept responses from anonymous posters. My personal opinion is that if you really want to comment, you can at least take five minutes of your time to create a troll with a name. Nothing looks more insane than a blog response from all kinds of "anonymous" people who all have widely differing views. Jeebus. Provide me a little entertainment. Give me a name so I can make up horrible things about you in my head.
