Topical Blog Colors

Hey there!

Now that Halloween is almost over, I've changed my blog colors to Halloween theme.

Uhh, way to be on the ball there, Bridgey-poo. Crap, what were you doing all day? It's not like you had errands to run, a doctor's appointment, work, two manuscripts for skewl due and a very late monthly project due and the same old harrowing circumstance at home to deal with.

Or something like that.

Regardless, it brings me to my next point, which is this: it's time for a new survey! You'll pick the next colors for the blog. Look for it in the next few moments in the left nav.

I welcome your suggestions. and if you don't like the palettes in the poll, just post your preference in the comments section (click on the envelope with the arrow underneath the post.)

Remodeling the IN THE PINES blog

So, what do you think of the new formatting? Just a little bit of a change. Like going to Ikea and buying new drapes and comforter. (See this entry).

I had to teach myself HTML and some CSS to get this to be this way. It took all of the Red Sox game, Forget Paris and half of An American in Paris. Then I went back during the Flavor Flav roast and did some more stuff.

An enriching night of vegging on the couch and playing with my blog.

Do you like the colors in the banner and the left nav? I would call it lavender but HTML calls it thistle.

Do you like the left hand navigation instead of right? And the smaller outer columns for more text within the body?

Figuring all this out was like figuring out how to read Don Quixote with a Spanish dictionary and limited knowledge of Latin. But it was fun.

Because I'm a geek.

Anyway, feel free to leave your comments below.

I hope they still show up now that I've rearranged things...
