Updating My Template To Use Blogger's New Features

As many of you may have noticed, I've not been actively using Blogger for some time due to illness and maternity leave. So many updates have happened in my absence and until now I have barely had time to update my own sites.

Looking through all of Blogger's recent updates and settings, I've realized there are lots of tweaks I need to perform to update this site. Since I haven't already written about most of these Blogger customizations, I'll be documenting my progress for anyone else wishing to update their sites to use Blogger's new features over the next few days.
Here is a list of my updates so far (which will be updated periodically as the posts are published). As I document my progress, I'll link these up to their relevant posts:
Note: As yet, I've chosen not to upgrade my whole template to the new interface. While I do plan to do this in the future, I know that converting from one template style to another and retaining the visual features will be a very time consuming process, and prefer instead to concentrate on the more pressing requirements and updating this site with new posts!

Thank you to all who have continued to support in my absence!

Now that I have more time to devote to blogging, I hope to revitalize this site and continue to provide you all with useful information and resources to complement your Blogger hosted sites.
