If you see a whole thing - it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives... But up close a world's all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. - Ursula K. LeGuin

New Look

It feels like a good time for a change.  A new look for a new age.  I wanted something a little simpler.  Any and all feedback is welcome.

I like the clean, open look but it's not as pretty as the previous design. Maybe a little something?

Well...

The horizontal scaling (stretching) of the photo of hands, book and pen looks bad; revert to original proportions.

And,

A nice clean SERIF would look better for "dirt and rocks."

That's all I got. Rock on.

Whoops! One more! The WRITING & ARTS links look alarmingly skimpy!

I like the tabs, and I enjoyed reading "100 Things." The peach sidebar is a nice, subtle way to set off your sidebar items, and separate them from your main text area. For some reason, your profile photo isn't showing up, and I really like that profile photo! The more I view your "new look" the more I'm getting used to it. It works well, and emphasizes your text and photos. ~ Annie

I like it but agree with Drax that the hand writing photo should go back to the original if possible. It's a compelling image that gets shortchanged here.

I'll tell you the same thing I told Annie. I'd love reading your words, even if they were written on an old barn in mud. Or something like that. In other words, I enjoy it here very much. I know I'm not much help, but the design doesn't bother me at all. I'm a crappy blogger:)

Have a great weekend!

It looks lovely!

Is it a Blogger.com template, or did you roll your own?
