As you’ve probably noticed, my blog look has changed a few times. And sorry about that, I know it’s totally annoying. I’m trying to decide on the best one- the one that looks the best and the one that is the easiest to use and read.
I originally had a three column template, (if you’ve been with me for a while you probably remember that one- it was green and pink) but then I discovered this (current) template with the two columns on one side. I like the look of this and I’ve been teaching myself a ton about HTML and trying to customize it the way I want it. I’m still trying to fix a few things, and thanks to Angie helping me out, hopefully I’ll be able to have it lookin’ good!
But, before I go any further, I want to know your opinions on my current layout and/or the one I previously had. After all, it doesn’t matter if I like it if you don’t like it! (I mean it does, I can’t please everyone, but you know…) I also realize that different colors and layouts can look a little different depending on what computer you have so I’m trying to get a feel for what works the best.
So if you’re feelin’ extra sweet today, I’d love to hear what you think. If you want to leave a comment here you may, or vote on the poll on the sidebar. If you do vote on the poll, at least leave a comment telling me you voted. I might possibly give one of you a itty bitty prize of some sort. Maybe.
Thank you so much lovely readers!!

So I picked “I DO like this template” because I do like the template with the 2 columns on the side. I also like the colors of your blog and everything but it seems alittle plain. And from what I've read of your blog you don't seem plain. I don't know. I just have it in my mind that it seems cool if your blog design reflects something about you. Which I'm trying to do with mine but I just don't have the motivation to actually teach myself and the HTML stuff and how to put together a layout with Photoshop or Paint.net.
But anyway. That's my opinion. But remember it is your blog so do whatever the heck you want with it. You don't have to do what other people like just cause they read it.
i like it. i think i like the header without a border though. and i also think it is a little plain, but i'm not sure what exactly you could add without it becoming too busy…

I think you could use a background. Two columns in the sidebar is pretty cool. I wonder, though…are those handprints Lucas'? Cause if they are, that's awesome.
Thanks so far guys!
Yes, those handprints are Lucas' of course! 🙂
I agree that it is pretty plain and simple. I'm a pretty simple person and I like things neat and orderly, maybe that's why my blog looks this way?!
I still have issues with the layout being too wide. I have to scroll to the right to see the whole blog.
I like it. Clean. Neat. Easy to read.
@ Holly Noelle – that has to do with your computer settings. On your desktop screen, right click. Then, click on “personalize” (vista) or “Settings” or “Customize” (windows xp, 2000, etc). Then you'll need to go to Display settings or Screen Resolution. Set the resolution as HIGH as you can, and you won't have that problem any more. Hope that helps!
Jared says it's kinda blah.
I REALLY love the feel of your blog, simple, chic-modern & straight to the point! I never saw your old one (maybe I did, but forgot) ofcourse if you look at my blog, it's kinda messy, loud, all over the place..but I love stuff!! heheh so this irefreshing for me! xoxo
I like it! Oh and by the way I left you an award on my blog!!!
I voted. I like the two columns in your sidebar, but it makes the blog feel a little pushed over. I think it's just because the “current giveaways” box doesn't match the rest of the column, though.
I voted, BTW. Forgot to mention that.
I voted. It is easy to read and not too cluttered looking.
Ok, I said that I do like this template, but I preferred the old one… It's totally a personal preference, but the old one let me read your blog with the window minimized- this one I have to maximize it… But this is cute and I love the header!!
