Major Blog Overhaul

I am officially taking suggestions regarding the look and feel of my blog.

Think of your favorite blogs. What do you like the best about their appearance? Is the 3-column layout aesthetically appealing or off-putting? Is all of the text overwhelming?

What would you like to see changed about my blog? The color scheme? The type of font? The background? I keep getting the feeling that my blog just looks a little messy and that it can be streamlined a bit.

At any rate, let me know your thoughts and ideas. I'd love to hear all of your input!

Peace.
Stef.

I have old eyes so anything that makes it easier to read is a winner.

The two column layout looks less cluttered and white or light background with black text will be easiest to read.

The Western world reads left to right, so I'd suggest leading with your blog column first and then all the segmented stuff on the right.

That's my two pence for what it's worth.

I like the layout fine, although for some it might be difficult to read. One thing that gets on my nerve is that you have to click "Continue reading" and a new tab pops up. But that's just me, I guess. (^v^)

Thanks, guys. Awesome and helpful comments!

Diandra, I tried removing that feature a little while ago, but can't remember how I even set up that setting! haha So it'll definitely go when the new layout starts, bc it is annoying to be forced into a new page when you don't want to be. I'm sure it has to do with something I wrote into the template manually. hehe Must keep track of my own little additions in html-land.

A-HA!!!!! Diandra, consider it fixed! I did a little detective work in my html, and I found the source of the pesky "new tab" feature and removed it! I feel so much better about life now. hehe

Soft Things

Exercise #105 : "Soft Things" Make a list of soft things. GO!!! This should be easy enough, shouldn't it?

"Yellow List"

Exercise #83 : "Yellow List" What things are yellow? Make a list. At the end of the five minutes, note the three you find most curious. Ah, yellow. One of my least favorite colors. I mean, it's nice and all, but there are so many versions of this color that are simply eye-raping. Anyways, on with the list. Things That Are Yellow: bananas school buses yellow bell pepper tennis balls Post Shredded Wheat boxes (see right) lemons canaries the middle traffic light traffic lines the sun cheddar cheese hay corn butter cabs #2 pencils grapefruit raincoats (stereotypical ones, anyway) bees squash yellow jackets (I HATE those things!) the yolk of an egg scrambled eggs or an omelet peanut M&Ms the Simpsons various flowers rubber duckie etc... So that's my list of yellow things! :) The most curious? Well... I'll go with... but none of those are curious! That's silly. Check back later today for my 5th Character Profile on Nolan Ha
