Thanks for the helpful replies! I'll try to respond to the issues ya'll brought up.
baycouples: I put the link in my sig so hopefully that will help make it easier. I wasn't aware I could do that as a new user.
About the template, yes it's generic free wordpress stuff. I just grabbed something to toy around with at the start. I fully intend to buy my own once I either make some money or sweet talk a friend into it since I'm flat broke right now. At least now maybe he'll take it more seriously when I suggest a new design for the site!
About not having pictures, you guys are absolutely right and I'm getting right on that. First I'll be posting up my own photos of different things to spike it a bit, then I'm going to try and purchase some pics/videos/etc.
Hammer: I agree about blogs (or any site if done with care and serious effort) being able to successful. I'm doing my damnedest to avoid turning it into another splog and keep the content fresh by endorsing things I personally care about since the blog's essentially about me. Also, thanks a ton for your Hammer Uncut blog and the podcasts. I used to listen back when I wasn't forced to use dial-up!
