In the beginning- Research into blog development

I'm going to stray away from Grunge, which is what i've done in my website, to try something different. Something designer looking.. I've always liked this shape and it can be made in Photoshop which is even better;I want a black and white themed Blog, i had one similar in Myspace (ages ago) and always thought it looked better as opposed to a brightly coloured theme.
