I just finished upgrading the blog and I also changed the template. The new template has two sidebars instead of one so there’s more space for for adding other useful stuff in the sidebars 🙂

During the upgrade I lost about 10 comments from the last two days. I’m terribly sorry about that. It was purely unintentional.

Please let me know what you think of the new design and what you’d like to see in the sidebars 🙂

Thanks JennyP for this awesome deal 🙂

Receive a $100 Sunglass Hut Gift Card for 360 Air Miles. According to operabob this turns out to be:

That’s $0.278/AM or about double the usual $0.13-$0.14 gift card rate.

Not a ad deal if you’re into designer sunglasses.

Robert D. Gibb is posting a stunning series of articles on Air Miles on the forum. I found the series very useful and enlightening so I’m posting it on the blog as well.
