So far I haven't found a WordPress theme that _doesn't_ have tweaks and issues that need fine tuning. Most guys who crank out the themes (and I'm grateful for all the effort folks are putting in) do not do publishing or problogging ... they're artistically, graphically talented instead. A good opportunity for a solid, business-oriented theme with places to plug in ads that stayed consistent between browsers, etc. I am really, really impressed by John Chow. I came upon him only a couple months ago because he was running ads on ProBlogger. Instead I found another 'real' problogger. And you have to pay attention with John ... he mixes up his posts with all sorts of non-blog stuff but when he dumps the blog info out, he dumps a lot. Great place to learn. One last thought about the theme issues ... not to myself more than anyone else ... you can spend too much time worrying over the trivia. John Chow's blog, for example ... a lot of wasted real estate with those cars pics, a few other glitches, including a really screwy effect where whole blocks of comments get "striketroughs" overwritten on the next, etc., but he's gone from 0 to $8500 in 7 months, so it is a lot more than the theme that's important.

I like the look of the updates to your blog. I think in the long run not displaying your earnings will benefit you. Keep it up! I fell for Tyler’s April fools trick too.

If you are not happy, why not try find a prebuilt theme or template and adapt it slightlt, won't take too long and will give a nice new look and feel, and it's not quite copying.. Personally, I think having your earnings there was great, not arrogant or anything like that at all, but some people get jealous and moan I guess :) Keep up the bloggin!
