I have to say that this is my favorite template design so far! While the use of so many images and javascripts make this template load slightly slower than some of my other template designs, I'm sure you'll agree that it's a worthy compromise!

This template has been tested in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. If you discover any problems using this template, please contact me using this link.

Install "Magical Clock" widget

In the right sidebar you will see a "Magical clock" which changes according to the time of day. Try visiting this page at different times of day to see the image changes. The clock circles through day and night, displaying a whole sun at midday and a whole moon at midnight. In the hours between, the increments are more gradual.
