I decided the previous New Widescreen Layout was too lopsided and balanced it with one sidebar on either side. One disappointment was that I couldn’t get a set of widgets in each sidebar and still had to wrangle some PHP and CSS. I was also able to shrink the email subscription form using a bit of Javascript magic (work is good for something), and corrected out the tag cloud CSS to use relative font sizes and the base page font.
Update: It turns out that multiple widget panels work just fine when you edit the right copy of the functions.php file!
