I know we've had this blog format since 2005 and it's really cutting edge and all, but are there other designs for the blog we can try? I'm wondering if a different format might allow us to post videos from youtube without them getting cropped. I'd try some new settings but I can't find the option anywhere - maybe only certain people can do it?

Now now. "Cutting edge" might not be the kindest thing to call our venerable design.
What I recall is picking one of several pre-designed templates that were somewhere on Blogger. Maybe there's a newer one now. They can be designed from scratch, but I dunno how.
OK, there's info here: http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176245
However, I went to the editing page -- by going to Blogger Dashboard, clicking the down-arrow to the right of the post list for Murphies, and then clicking "Template" -- and was immediately frightened by the warning that I would have to upgrade my template. Ack! Change!! Scary1!!
Caleb, you may change it if you wish -- I agree that we should do something about the difficulty of posting youtube videos -- but try to save some sort of sidebar with the archive lists and such -- I use those and like them. And try not to lose the link to SiteMeter at the bottom.
I just changed you from an "Author" to an "Admin" in the settings (changed Luke and Laura too) so you should have whatever permission you need to make changes.
well, wait a minute. I'm sick of change. It's often not an improvement. I went in and edited the video in the HTML. It's easy to do. The number that's often 5** has to be more like 400.
Caleb, it seems that the problem could be solved just by widening the settings for the existing template, but I fooled around with the template settings using the preview feature and couldn't find a way to do it that looks right. Maybe you can, or maybe there's a new template that would widen things up without making too many other changes.
