I can’t get no satisfaction

New look – again!!

I loved the rotating header on the previous theme, but I hated the way the content was cramped into a narrow column in the middle. I had planned to widen the column but then discovered that it wasn’t possible without a PhD in php, which I will probably never have. Solution: a new theme, that I hope will give my content some more breathing space. And with rotating images instead of headers.

Just – please – don’t let me turn into Michael Jackson!

Love it!!!!! I think this design is def. a keeper. The wider text column is most welcome and I think the photos are shown off to good advantage as well.

nice, very readable . is this you coming into yourself? I’m feeling it.

No, I disagree. I lik the rotating headers more, the photo of this theme is making a “block” next to the text.

They both work for me, though I do like the idea of getting full pictures instead of a banner.

I’d have to liken the layout to a newspaper. Personally, your layout doesn’t matter as much as your content. That’s the stuff I keep coming back as a loyal reader.

I agree with Gary. The pictures are great, but the content is the reason for reading.

definitly prefer the rotating headers, even with my rather large monitor this is still too wide and there’s nothing that bothers me more than scrolling across.

sorry:(

But you forgot the weather!

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
countymuseum – I like to think so! :)
gary, Jon – thanks. I think that’s why most people come to this site, which is why it was so important to me to give the content a good amount of space.
Lucy – that’s too bad! You mean that it goes beyond your monitor? Does anyone else have that problem?
mary – You noticed! So I guess some people DO read the weather report … :)

mary May 8, 2008 at 9:12 pm

I always read the weather!

I liked the old layout better, this seems too unbalanced to me, if you catch my drift. But of course people will get used to it, it doesn´t really matter how you have your layout :D XD

I like it :)

Ok, so now i’m reading from my laptop and I don’t seem to have that problem … still prefer the last on though
