Lots new in the Googleverse this week! Blogger introduced 4 new modern template themes . I used the Notable theme to give this blog a new look . If you want to give one of them a try, it’s easy to switch ! Google continued to be under fire from advertisers whose ads appeared with “extremist” content.

My old sidebar had gotten a bit cluttered with gadgets that were out of date. Blogger comments only.  I had been using comment code from blogger xpertise that l...
