By using a rather nifty tool in WordPress I have been able to import all the posts and comments from Liberal Elite (RIP) into the Citizen Sane blog, therefore housing all of my various witterings (and even those of The Realist) in one place. Which I rather like. So if you look at the archive list on the right it now stretches all the way back to March 2005, when it all began…
Centrist. Atlanticist. Dry liberal. Anti-totalitarian. Post-ideological pragmatist. Child of The Enlightenment. Toucan.
Citizen Sane 
Is there some way you got your icon to appear on the right hand side? I have mine appear, but it’s so much smaller that it’s hard to see.
I think it depends what template you use. Think the size of the original jpeg is also a factor.
