Whaddya Think?

December 19, 2005 | Category: Best Of



OK, so there are a few kinks to be worked out (namely, all pages except the main index) and some people (we're not naming names) HATE the new banner. ("It's ridiculous!") (ME, I like it. I like the little family of snow people. But I could change...)

I want to hear your opinions... every comment and thought means a great deal to me. So please, voice off.

Some have asked why the change... so here it is:
1) I need to try some advertising, and the recommended layout for making it as subtle as possible was a 3-column with a white background (so 1 column could be dedicatedto ads or whatnot)
2) I plan on sharing my attempts at writing a book, and wanted more column space to link to that venture, as well
3) I wanted a fresh start to go with my...uh fresh start

OK, NOW voice off. Please :)

(And if I haven't attacked your site with some long overdue de-lurking and commenting, I should be there soon) (Except Philip *grin*)

In general, I like the new look. It has clean lines, is easy to read, and doesn't look too busy even though there's a lot going on. The things I'd change, were I playing with the layout, have to do with picky things - alignments, font combinations and such. And this may sound strange, but I'd choose either more color or less.

I like it. I do. But I liked the old one better. However, I see your point about the ads not being so intrusive this way. And I always appreciate a blog with dark writing on light background, so I don't have to enlarge and all that stuff that makes me feel so old.

It's too "cute" for me. I liked the old one.

However, I really don't like change of any sort!

I like the new banner - its certainly infinately better than anything I could come up with..thus the plainest stock banner available.

I like the banner. And I like that you change it every so often. I like it when people change their banners every so often, probably because I don't know how and can't and feel banner envy.

I'm with the add color suggestion. That's the only thing I'd change.

I love it. And I like the snow people!

I LOVE banner, especially the snowmen. It is easy to read and it will be good for posting book excerpts. I like the choice of advertisers...worth browsing. I like the dotted line borders. I like the light blue background.

Nice!

I like it. I think it looks nice. I like the new banner, too.

I like the new banner. Looks quite fine, actually.

Oh man, that really hurts!

I like the whole new look. I like the banner. The text and background are easy to read. I might go with a slight addition of color to the sidebars/background, but that's just me. It looks really good as is.

i likey! Especially the snowman family. But then again, I seem to be partial to snowpeople on the blog :)

Also, I like that you can change everything just by switching out the banners and changing the bg color on the posts :) Easy.
