Your Eyes Do Not Deceive You

Yes, after years of the same blog look, I just changed it up.  I was ready even if I did dig my old look.  I added a few things too.  After each post, you will see the little buttons that you see on most web pages now where you can link an article to Facebook, Twitter, etc.  You just click on the button and it will link it wherever you choose to.  Pretty cool!  Also, On the right hand side, for you technical geeks, I added an RSS feed to you can subscribe to my blog.  Thanks to Drew for the suggestion!  The only thing I am not sure of - my header at the top of the page.  The color, blue, doesn't match with the rest of the blog.  So, do I dump it?  It is so me and the pics symbolize who I am, but I am not sure I like it there anymore since it doesn't match.  Keep it for its symbolism or move on to something else?!?!  I'll listen to some ideas.  No movie reviews today as I haven't got a chance yet and I am out for the rest of the night.  Probably none tomorrow either as my dad and I will be installing laminate flooring in Jessica's office.  Maybe Sunday.  'Til then, enjoy your weekend, everyone!

I really like your header so I think that if you cannot change the color to match the background or you can not find a background that you like to suit the header, you should leave it as is. Well, that is if you do not want to spend the time doing another. I find the header on your blog fascinating every time I visit your page. We have a lot in common. So now I am thinking that it would be interesting to see a new one,.. especially with your artistic abilities and that you have been working on them and improved them for much longer than 365 days.

Being inundated with the 'link to Facebook' thing has worn me down and your site will be the first one I actually do share on Facebook. So I do like what you have added.

And thank you again!

Oh, I also think that you should take your time changing it if you decide that is the way to go.

Side note: I can now receive follow up comments by e-mail. Nice!

I like the new page and I, like Drew, believe that the header is definitely you. For the most part I take it for granted and then sometimes I look at it, and it's like looking at it for the first time. I'm amazed at how much is actually in that header and how every single thing you put on there is you. I would hate to see it go and don't think it clashes really that much but again, Drew is right. You really are so artistic and I'm sure you will come up with something new if you feel inclined.

I'll miss your posts but look forward to reading them soon.

I like the new look. The old header doesn't look bad. Do you even know how to make a new header though?

The blog looks great and to me, the header doesn't seem really out of place colorwise or anything. It does seem kind of like your thing and it is so intricate. If it were me, and I had a header like that, I think I'd want to keep it.

I love this new look and it great that I got here from Facebook through your link.
I like the header as it is though you may find a way to tweak it and make it better. Whatever you do, keep up the posts. Hugs, Nani

Darn, I just come here and read. Didn't notice the changes at all. Still, I like the look because it is easy to the eyes. Keep up the good work.
