Right blocks: I don\'t see the point in this, but maybe you could explain a bit more why you want this quite unusual (IMO) behaviour?
Advanced blocks control / web-based theme modification interface: Good ideas, but they will certainly not happen with the 1.3 codebase. That\'s stuff for GL2 ...
Access statistics: While there\'s certainly room for improvement here, most of what you look for can easily be gained by using a web statistics package like Webalizer or Analog. Applications like these are specifically made for the task while the stats function in Geeklog is just a \"goodie\". Anyone who\'s willing to contribute code to improve the stats is welcome, but among the core team, there are currently no plans to change anything in the stats section.

Understood.
As for the right blocks, I agree it is a rather unusual feature, but we do see some nicely done sites out there that a right block-based concept for navigation. Also, it helps to empathsize a static page that you really want to point out.
Since English (and many other languages) reads from left to right, the page itself will be the first thing people see rather than the blocks, thus forcing the reader to read at least a few lines before going back (if desired) to the navigational/other content in the right blocks. It might also be useful in Japanese websites, since I'm told that their language reads from right to left.
Finally, a very good example would be Google who uses a right block for their AdWords campaign. Of course, this would be cooler if we had that advanced blocks control functionality as I mentioned, but the idea remains the same.
And finally, I personally hate being unable to do something, even though I may not neccessairly want to do it! :-) Now, I know I could code the .thtml files to display the left blocks over the right blocks, but this would be kind of a one-way, quick & dirty solution...
