I’ve wanted to update my website’s design for some time now. While I loved the original site’s red background, I wasn’t crazy about the orange banner. I’ll admit I chose it because it was mostly already done – I’d found it on a stock image website. Since I was already spending a lot of time tweaking the website template I’d chosen, I decided to just go with it.
After being inspired recently by this color scheme from the colourlovers.com website – it has two of my favorite colors, blue and purple! – I decided to jump in and give my site a facelift. I’m particularly happy with how the background turned out. The banner, alas, is still my weak point. I’ll probably continue to play with it, but I’m already much happier than I was with my old banner.
Next up – I want to play around with creating a different template for the non-blog pages. We’ll see if I can fake my way through that one the way I did when I muscled the site’s original template into a format I wanted.
Oh, and if anyone can tell my how to center the links on my navigation bar, I’d be eternally grateful!
