NEED YOUR OPINION!!!!
A week or so ago, I received some feedback from one of my new favorite blog haunts in regards to my blog design. The question . . . was my current design conducive to frequent visits and browsing for longer periods of time? Or, did it hurt the reader's eyes after a while? Well, I've been doing some thinking and decided to try out a new design with a change in the colors . . . from a dark background and light text to vice versa. Here's what I have come up with and I want your opinion!!! I have added a poll to my sidebar for you to cast your vote; however, please feel free to share any additional thoughts in my comments section. I am not a designer and encourage any opinions and suggestions!! In fact, I want them all!!! :)

New! :)
ReplyDeleteI especially love the new header! And yep, I like the color change as well!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors and pictures of the new design, but I like the size of the picture in the old one. Now when I come to your blog, the picture takes up the whole window and I have to scroll down to get to your first post. This is nit-picky, I know, especially because I usually come from Google Reader and thus have already read at least some of said post, but for someone who comes straight to your blog, it might be off-putting, or at least, not grabbing their attention with your first post.
ReplyDeleteIt's late and I should be sleeping so I apologize if that makes no sense. ;)
I agree with J.T. I like the new color scheme but the large pic is a bit too large. I like to see some of the content when I go to a page.
ReplyDeleteI just voted new in the poll, then came here to read comments, and of course, now I am changing my mind. I love the colour, it has a subdued, elegant feel, but I can actually see what JT and Kristen are saying. I guess I would like to see a little more post on my screen, too. But maybe this is just habit because most blogs are that way?
ReplyDeleteVoted for new look, very elegant!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the feedback and votes!!! I've actually made a change to the size of the new header. I actually completely agreed with you guys about it being too big. I've downsized it! Let me know if you think that is better!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!!
Much better, Tif! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNew one for me too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! Hopefully, I can launch my other changes this week too!! What better time than BBAW!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, you've probably already decided by now, but I think the new design looks fantastic! Very professional, and it is easier to read. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I've decided to keep it!! Everyone overwhelming voted for the new look!!! It was a bit hard getting used to at first, but I really do like it now!! Now, I think I need to change my avatar now too!!
