The template (called Connections) was downloaded from vanillamist.com, and adapted for Blogger by myself (it’s originally for WordPress). Took some work, but it was worth it, I believe.
The new title comes from a phrase that has been stuck in my head for a looooong time. It has nothing whatsoever to do with this movie, though.
I created the header after being frustrated with every image I tried. A couple of people tell me it’s good. Please tell me what you think.
The template is still in a state of flux, and I will be fixing things slowly but surely. So if some of you are using IE (creeps), and have the font size anything other than medium, you might see the text somewhat oddly. This will be fixed in the coming week. Have patience, or shift to Firefox like sane people.

Hmmm, the banner/heading image is authentic, tones nicely with the template. SDoesn't show up in my firefox for some reason. Tha's quite a blogroll you've got!

Looks cool, on both IE and Firefox. And a definite improvement over the previous template (yes, one had been lurking ..)

I liked the older one better.

@Andre: Thanks. The problem with the display of the image might not be with Forefox, but with the server on which it's hosted, because I had the same problem a couple of times. Thanks for the comment about the blogroll - it has been carefully selected from about twice that number. These are just the essentials - the daily reads.
@The One: Thanks. One is welcome anytime.
@Anirudh: Rather surprising. Which elements of that template did you prefer, exactly? It used to look simpler, and loaded a bit faster, I'll admit that. Apart from that, the only possibility I can imagine is that the posts look a bit smaller (in font size). I'd be glad if you could be specific.
@Girl: Thanks. Actually one of the reasons I chose this template was that it looks nice and sunny (and welcoming, as one of my friends said). There are actually many good templates available on the net, but most of them are for wordpress, because it's a much more flexible platform. One can always port, like I did.

Thanks. The book is really good too. Very readable, but never scrimping on detail or authenticity.

@rk: Thanks. That is where I got it from. I was setting up a blogsome blog for myself (which I might start using sometime in the next millenium), and one of the templates from wpthemes was there, so I checked the others, and loved this one. They do have some really wonderful themes.
