After the big upgrade a time or two back, I had heard that restrictions on Java had to be put in place to secure the server and sites from malicious code. If I understood it correctly, if you modified your template any java goodies you already had in place would be stripped off when you hit save. I have seen lots of my friends making major changes on their blogs, so maybe it is safe again.

The server where I have my free online classes moved a few months ago and I really need to update the links to it in my sidebar, but I have been afraid to open my template. I might not even have any Java to risk losing on my template, but I have to admit to being skittish to update. I would hate to lose the photoalbum badge especially. Anyone know what the current status is on this?
