Ganbarimashou!
After some technical setbacks, the Name Game is back on! Sorry for those of you who had already voted, but I have to ask you to resubmit your choices. Let the games resume!
The more things change, the more they remain INSANE!

WELCOME! The Beyond J-Land blog is a smorgasbord of mostly lighthearted excerpts from my life. Excluding chronological, there is little organization or method to the tidbits I author. However, fashion tragedies, questionable sanity, bugs, nostalgia, friends, family, Japan, the States, culture shock and reverse culture shock have been recurring topics thus far. Feel free to take a peek at what life looks like through this girl's eyes.
:
Ask, and ye shall receive!
Just go to your template and cut'n'paste the styles below in place of the same part of the styles (note--this is only the body through "rightstuff" [new] section; paste over the entries from body to sidebar in the original.)
I'll put a backup copy of your current set of styles in the next comment, just in case.
Once you've put those styles in place, then go down to where you see the ending [/div] that has the comment "end #sidebar" and add in a new set of tags:
<div id="rightstuff">
</div>
I strongly suggest you also put some comments with them, like the other sections have, making it
<!-- begin #rightstuff -->
<div id="rightstuff">
{ insert your content between }
</div>
<!-- end #rightstuff -->
Voila! You'll have a column on the right.
Oh, and get rid of the obnoxious background I put on it. I just did that so it'd be easy to see when it's showing up.
Cheers!
PGE
