My new theme!
Blogged on Monday, January 21st, 2008 by Rachael. Filed in Administrating, Blog365.
I am SO happy and relieved (for now), because I finally designed and tweaked and coded this theme into submission. And also into gorgeousness. I love it. I love it so much. In fact, I am so in love with my new theme that I would like to eat all the image pieces, after I dip them in powdered sugar icing.
*SWOON*
Anyway - as with any epic love affair, something is always lurking, waiting to ruin everything. So I need all of you to please click on over here, making sure you hit F5 to refresh the page, and tell me if anything looks weird, is broken, or dances strangely on your screen and offers you a cookie.

That “Click to ask for geek advice” graphic jumped out and tried to lure my dogs with peanut butter dog treats but other than that, nothing weird seemed to happen.
Looks great!

Hooray! :)
That graphic tries to get me to eat treats too. Heh.

Brown is my signature color. I love earth tones, but I also like that you funked it up with a little fuschia and chartreuse too.
I would have no idea where to begin on the coding. I want to do something different with my template too. I even have a WordPress saved under the same title and am tempting to make the switch. Maybe I should get a custom template for someone creative and caffeinated like you.
What I want most is to be adored.

I love brown too - it always reminds me of chocolate.
When my business site is finished (it’s been on hold because of other work I’ve been doing), you can check out my pricing and see if you’d like to hire me to bling out your blog. :D
So that you can be adored, of course. Because I totally understand the sentiment, since it is MINE as well. :)

I love it, but for some reason the links are showing up over top the post? I’m running Safari so that’s probably the issue.

Your theme is gorgeous! I like the header, but also the color combinations. I never would have been able to put these 3 colors together so beautifully.

It looks really good to me - I’m using IE 7.0.5xxxx. No major issues, nothing out of place.
On a personal note, I really like the header and the side bar.
Great job!

@Tandaina, thank you, I appreciate you letting me know. I emailed you back to ask a few specific questions. :)

@Jessica and Hecticmom, thank you both for such nice comments! I’m glad to know it looks good to other people and not just me, lol. :D

I love it! It’s very easy on the eyes (both literally and figuratively)

Love it, but does it take a tad longer to load than the old one or is it just my bumpy connection which has the false name of broadband?
;)
Jan 22, 2008
Nah, I think, it was the first time loading hickup :D
I wish I was as good in tweaking as you are.
I tend to break these things ;)

I like the new theme!! The colors are great, and the design is very clean and uncluttered.

OK its not just Mac, its doing it on my Linux box with Firefox this morning.
The issue seems to be if the window isn’t wide enough not only does everything wrap but it seems to start lower as well? Very odd but if I maximize the window it looks correct.

I think it’s going to look great, but over here on Firefox what I can only assume is your top nav is not so much top. In fact it’s hovering over your post.
Good luck getting it right, I look foward to seeing the completed version. It is going to be amazing!
