Do you know how hugely nerve wracking it is to change the template on your blog?
The feeling of fear is out of all proportion to the thing I am actually doing (a fear of breaking things, of not being able to go back (how apropos!), and a general fear of change from the familiar). As if it really matters!
It doesn’t, I know…
This is the break up equivalent of a new hairstyle…
It’s terribly bright isn’t it *~squinting… puts on shades~*
Feel free to tell me if you like it, hate it, or really couldn’t care less
(Edited to add: Oooh!! I have just added a poll over there on the left, you can tell me in one click what you think…).
I will be swishing it around for a while, looking in the mirror, trying it on with different outfits and seeing how I feel about it… I might prefer the fire-engine red bob with the blonde highlights, but we will see…

The first thing I thought when I saw this was “omg what the fuck is this!?”
“It's terribly bright isn't it *~squinting… puts on shades~*”
Yes…It's too bright. I normally check your blog every night before bed, so this bright white thing isn't helping my eyes.
“Feel free to tell me if you like it, hate it, or really couldn't care less. “
I don't like it. It's too bright. The green at the top is nice. =)

It *is* bright isn't it? Your preference is noted. Thanks Brids.

I really like it!
Mab: “I really like it!”
*smile* thank you. One for, one against…

Oh, I really like the new header, I'm all for green and floral motives *smiles*
A bit bright – yes, but I also like the contrast between header and blog space. If it was me I'd probably play around with a sand or lavendar colored background but not sure that I'd change it.
Also personal preference, I'd loose about a third of the headers' hight, so it doesn't take up more than half the page when the blog loads – I'm just lazy about scrolling *shrugs* ;)
@miladymao: Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. Much appreciated!

I normally read this through the RSS feed, so I wouldn't normally see the changes until I come over to comment.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting tired of the dark colors on most sex/kink related blogs. I think it gives people an overdue jarring to see the light templates. I'm sure there's something symbolic in this, but it's too early in the morning to get into it.

Did you vote? Didja huh huh huh?

Hmmmm… have to say I am not happy with the spacing of these comments on the page… I also have to admit that I have NO idea how to change it!!

I love the header on it. Green is my fav color. :D I don't know much about these things but perhaps a sandy color or a light green for the body of the page to take away from the stark white.

Well, duh – of course I voted. I mean, I took the trouble to come here and all, so I voted, watched tv for a bit, and rummaged through your fridge for snacks.
Oh, you need to pick up more milk on the way home.

Thanks Faith… I actually tried to do something with that after Miladymao's comment, but I am not clever enough… it ends up being very blocky and odd… I will keep playing around with it.

Don't you 'duh' at me, young man!
“…Oh, you need to pick up more milk on the way home.”
Don't think for one second that 'TV, snacks and milk'-talk will distract me. I KNOW that you went through the knickers drawer…!!

I KNOW that you went through the knickers drawer…!!
Well, duh! Isn't that a given?
Hey, at least I didn't try them on…
Tom: “Hey, at least I didn't try them on…”
Sure you didn't…

Kickers? Sorry, not my kink.
But damn, Ferns… your shoe collection rocks!
