Twitter plan, blog roll in place

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Just like the rest of the class, I've added all the elements required in recent assignments, including a blog roll of online journalism related blogs and two Twitter widgets (One searches online journalism tweets while the other is for this blog’s account JRN350).

All the new widgets line the right-hand column, which admittedly is becoming crowded, and I know I want to add a Facebook feed next. Am I in danger of looking too busy like too many newspaper Web sites? Is this why WordPress, with its menus, is considered a better blogging platform?

In the meantime, a short-term solution could be finding a widget that fits at the bottom well, but I haven't yet.
