Design Changes

I'm sure you noticed, but I've been changing my blog design around a lot.  I'm trying to settle on a "signature look."  Exactly how I want to portray that, I haven't decided.  I'm thinking a specific font, logo, and/or header that will be consistent in its basic design, allowing me to change the background and make other tweaks seasonally. 

I really like the font in the current header, its called Victorian.  I thought it looked a bit "peculiar" without being too weird or hard to read, and it's still pretty.  I like the sort of vintage eclectic look, so as long as I don't get too colorful with any of the accessories I should be able to keep it pulled together and not get tacky or overwhelming if I add some color or images for a holiday.

The actual header design, I'm not totally set on yet.   But, I'm pretty sure I want mainly B&W.  I'm really happy with what I've found on shabbyblogs.com, but the selection is a bit limited.  I'd love to hear your comments or suggestions of other places to get cute, free blog stuff.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I love red, so I'm happy that you picked it. And the Victorian "wallpaper" seems to suit you! I like it!

  2. Thanks! I'll probably stick with the red through Valentines day then change to something springier. I get bored so easily - I want to be able to switch it up but allow people to remember the blog with a visual impression at the same time.

  6. I'm having problems with my blog too. I miss the side bar - but if I put it back and size my photos bigger - they overlap.

    I like the font a lot & I like the red border on the side.

  7. It's very pretty! I like the background and the header and everything! The only thing I would do if it were mine is that I would put some sort of divider between the header and the posts since the background color is the same on both.
