Redesign Features

I'm considering a revamp of this blog (and my website)... are there any particular things you'd like to see? Any particular website styles/designs you like more?

ETA: Is this too girly? Guys, would you read a blog with this template? Or shun the girly-girl?

Just no white words on black background please. :D Gives me migraines. >.<

Oh, I'm so with you! But wow...does that limit some of the free templates online. Practically 75% of them are dark background/ light text. ARGH!

I've always been a fan of the three-column blogs (as you can see from my own) ^_^ Perhaps a bit more color? Something that reveals something of your personality? That would be cool.

I like clean and simple. I like the look of your blog now, although the wide format sometimes doesn't work for me. But then again, it's all opinion. Whatever you go with, make sure it speaks for what you like! Let it be an extension of your great personality. :D

I do like the new look. It's very catchy. I say go with your personality and whatever is you. Because that's what this blog is all about! YOU! Which is why I read it of course. :)

Dude, what's with the no dark with white? I love that. *snarf* In my defense, mine is only dark at the top, it gets bluer as you go down, right? *double snarf* I love that blogger template. If I didn't have to redo everything on the planet to get a new template I would. I'm just crazy about change like that. I like to mix things up a bit.

Elana--no way! Your blog is fine!! :) It totally works.

I think I am going to fiddle around more with the template I showed you all. It's really difficult: the template I like doesn't have all the elements I want, so I'm going to teach myself a little CSS in order to figure it out and get it working the way I want it to.

Ooh, la, la ... I like it!

Nope. Notebook Chaos is one of my favorite layouts! I used it quite a while ago. :)

I like Notebook Chaos, but, ahem, I'm something of a blog designer (I did Shel's at WriteforaReader.blogspot.com) and I could help with the customization (not of Chaos; it's configured strangely).

Aerin-- WOW you are talented!! Did you draw/paint those headers?! I'm totally amazed.

I'm going to try to figure out this thing on my own (emphasis on try) just because I like a challenge to learn something new, but I totally may be calling on you soon!!!
