It's currently pretty basic, but it's a start! Check it out and tell me what features I can add and how!
and I am especially looking for a better template...

How about a subscribe by email button? If I don't subscribe by email I'll never remember to read it. And I want to read this.

There are a lot of free themes for Blogger that you can download from the web.

An email subscribe would be good. Congrats on the blog!

I added the email subscribe button and a few other features, including a "Read More" button for my older posts. I'll keep working on the new theme and such.

Looks good! I subscribed.

Two comments: One, the font you use for the bulk of your most recent couple of posts is (like nearly all monospaced fonts) quite hard to read for text of any significant length; I strongly recommend using a non-monospace font. And two, I suggest adding some sort of index or other side page(s) to help navigation and organization, store "static" information, and whatnot---on Wordpress these are called "pages" as opposed to the more usual "posts", but I don't know what Blogger calls them.

Oh, and: If it's still possible, I recommend adding a subscription option beyond email and the ordinary feeds, such as Google's FriendConnect (if that's still possible). I've now subscribed in my blog reader, but FriendConnect (or whatever the thing I'm thinking of is called ...) would let me have it listed in the "Blogs I'm Following" section of my Blogger profile.
