**UPDATE: Okay, so that last one was cute, but I got tired of it quickly. I’m back to basic black, cool pink font, and a funky header. I’m going to try this for awhile (maybe even a whole day). 🙂
Okay, so I’m having some issues with deciding on what I want this blog to look like! I suck at decisions. Whether it be serious, life-altering decisions, or maybe something less pressing…like blog designs.
I like this design…but I don’t love it! I really liked the one before… not the plain black one, but the next one (not that anyone has visited here enough over the last 24 hours to see all my piddling changes). Anyway, I digress. The one before this one…it was mostly black with green & pink curly things on the sides and some bows…I really liked it a lot but it brought some template problems and no header to match and well, I’m not technically savvy enough to create my own stuff. But I did like the black background. It made that pink font pOp! But see, here’s my problem (as if I only have one!) Seriously, the problem is, I like ALOT of designs, but I haven’t found one that screams “me”. You know, Rose – funky, fun, bright, yet functional and practical and modern.
You are my friends, you know me…how does this fit for now? until I can find another one? or should I keep this one? Is it too loud? too pink? too just plain ugly? Really, what do you think? do you even care? probably not!
Oh, and can you forgive me if I overuse ellipses? …and question marks?? I have an addiction to them that I can’t seem to kick! Anyway, it’s late and I’ve browsed so many designs that my eyes are bugging out and sleep really is important to me.
So, goodnight for now. Lots of love!

I like the colors. It is not too girly and the combination of colors is good. I do not like the black border. I do like the stripes. I think u should get rid of the black border and go with those stripes of light and darker pink at the top or your page. Instead just put Whoo Hoo across the top and it would be perfect. Yes I give you permission to use my phrase. LOL I think it is a great start to many great ideas that you have and things only you can share with all of us.
I like the color scheme! The hot pink font on a black background is easy to read. The green is a great contrast, as well, and makes the date and links stand out quite nicely.
Shelly – okay, so I've changed it AGAIN…getting rid of the busy stuff on the sides. I didn't like the black lace border, but unfortunately the template is sort of preset, and I couldn't change individual elements, so I ditched it for now.
Linda – Thanks so much for your input! I really appreciate it!
