Blog Layout and Format

I've gotten some feedback that the newer layout here isn't working for everyone - I'm not the kind of guy who is building templates from scratch, so ones that I grab from sites probably have their limitations.

Still, I'd love to know if this is a concern for any of you out there --

• What works? 

• What doesn't? 

• Any great templates - that are specifically for Blogger - that you can recommend?

Thanks, y'all.
