Attorney/Lawyer Blog/Website

I am a labor and employment lawyer in Chicago. I have my own blog at www.charlesakrugel.com. The template, which is a customized 3 column design hosted on [login to view URL], was designed for free by a 19 year old engineering student in Sao Paolo, Brazil. She did a great job on this about 2 years ago. Also, I use Google's page creator to have additional pages linked to the blog--my resume, my biography and a statement of my philosophy of human resources and labor and employment law. In essence, my blog is my home page. Because I know some HTML & CSS, I have done a lot to the template's design myself. However, as browsers and applications change, I am starting to have problems with the design. In essence, I believe that my template is too idiosyncratic (too specialized) to hold up over time. Also, I have received complaints that the template formatting is wrong in different browsers. I would like to redo the blog. I want to continue to use the blog as my home page and still have separate pages for my biography, resume and practice philosophy. Furthermore, I am not completely satisfied with having the separate web pages linked to in the right column. I think that's awkward. So, I would be interested in having those moved to a more prominent (easy to see) place. I also want control over the blog and pages. I want to post and add content without using a webmaster. I want to be the webmaster. Also, I want to use my domain name as the main URL, not the [login to view URL] address. If it helps, my goal has been to have a unique but simple appearing way to show my practice and content. Also, I currently do not use my blog/website for payment/monetary transactions. Although I may do this in the future. Right now, my blog and pages are used to "show off."
