It's not that difficult

I came to the conclusion that it has looked exactly the same since...well for a long time. I decided that it was time for an update, just an EXTERIOR update because all the stuff on the inside gets regular updates already.

My APPROACH to begin with was to do something simple and not necessarily change the whole design, but I soon found that I was continuing to drift back to the same look and color that I have had since 2005.

I sat down at my DESK and opened the VAULTS containing the millions of images that I have taken over the years, my PREDICTION was that one of these images would hold the answer that I was looking for.

There were the ones looking out of the PLANE window, I actually worked hours with those trying to make something work, then there were the ones of me fishing up at that little MOUNTAIN LAKE, a lot of you will remember those. Fulmore Lake was nice but no matter how hard I tried there was nothing that looked just right to me, the greens I tried for the background just didn't work, no matter what I did there was nothing that didn't look like some sort of BACTERIA growing in the background, so now green was out.

This really shouldn't be that hard! It's easy to do Jimmy! Change can be good, my left eye TWITCHED and I reached up to wipe a tear away as I began to look through other templates and designs, changing the look of my blog shouldn't be that difficult. Simply adding an image to the top is one thing, but changing everything all at once randomly made it look like I had unleashed a MADWOMAN onto my blog.

A FLICKER of hope came as I took a deep breath and made a simple design change, it was one that I liked and so I started at the top changing the colors, fonts, widths and such, one by one I made the changes and suddenly there it was. I still had trouble with the header image and rather than a picture of Dixie digging under our WHITE LILAC bush or of the mountains behind the house, I settled on one of Cindy that I took at the race a couple years ago when they let us sign our names on the wall, then to the sharpie marker in her hand I positioned the title of my blog.

Now I'm happy, see it wasn't that hard changing the look of my blog. What do you think?

Do you have a hard time changing things around on your blog, like the colors and design?
