New Face for the Book Shelf

I'm fiddling with the look of this place. I was browsing some sites that have Blogger template linkware and really liked this one so I snagged it. Then I had to figure out what to do with it. I've always wanted at least one nice 3-column blog and this one was the most minimalist so I figured it would be easy to switch over. Hope folks like how it looks. :)

    Thanks, Tania. I thought this template was so striking, I had to use it. And I'd never have been able to code something like this myself.

    I always wanted one with three columns too... no luck yet so far though. Maybe once i've learned more HTML/CSS I can make my own designs! :)

    You're so cute! I like the little person with the book a lot. She looks like the sort of "good side" of the South Park characters.
    I rely on journalscape - it's SO simple which is sort of what I need. But you can't believe how long I took last year choosing the color scheme! But I mean adding graphics even like your little mug there? Wow - I'm so not at that level!

    I had that South Park character I made on a South Park avatar site on the old template, but down a bit on the sidebar. I like having her up top. She's one of the favs I've made.

    Choosing color schemes can kill off a day or 2 for sure. I like these colors, but I'm sure I'll tweak them at some point.

    Loving the new look. I'm usually resistant to change, but I really like the way it looks.

    Thanks, Piksea. I get tired/bored of the templates and wanted this blog to look more different than the others. I'm glad everyone likes it (well, everyone who's bothered to comment). :)

    Nice new look! The colors here remind me of those lux wood-paneled libraries with leather chairs.

    Thanks. I was hoping it looked bookish. :)
