Why this design

On my blog you will notice a baseball theme. In the corner is a picture of US Cellular field which I visited this summer. I have become an increasingly more addicted white sox follower as I have gotten older. My wife is loving enough to put up with my constant rants about the White Sox and has even taken the time to memorize some of our starting roster. I have heard that those that love the game play, and those who can't play coach, and those that can't do either waste away their lives following the sport. I fit into the final category when it comes to baseball. I was able to change the background by visiting the site thecutestbloggerontheblock and following their step by step directions to add the field of dreams baseball background. On the side I was able to add a link to some of my favorite websites including my wife's blog and mlb.com. This was accomplished by going to design then clicking on the add a gadget. Once a list of possible actions pops up I was able to add a link list and then add the URL's of some favorite links.
