I'm very tempted to try one of the new and jazzy Blogger templates now available, but I am afraid I'll lose all my links, etc. from the sidebar. I see that Blogger also now supports and provides comments. I wonder if it's worth my while to switch to the blogger comments or continue on as I have been. I've been pretty happy generally with Haloscan. The comments seem to generally always be available (not like the provider I used before this).
