makeover

blogging

6 Jan

The other day I was tinkering with the widths of my blog, and after spending an entire morning staring at it I got kinda sick of it and just started from scratch.  Here is what I came up with!

As you can see, I pretty much stuck with the same color scheme.  I wanted something a little cleaner, bigger, and more flexible.  I’m pretty excited!

I’m still tweaking things like buttons and layout and whatnot.  If you are viewing this in a reader, click over to check out my new look!

Happy Friday!

Here you can read about my blog’s little design history.

    Hey! I wanted to let you know how that I've answered your question about the photo course! I'm so glad you want to join :D It would be great to do it together and share experiences! Do you have a flickr account, or would you like me to send you an invite?

    PS. I also wanted to ask you how you reply by mail to my comments on your blog. That's so clever, but I can't figure out how to configure it.
