But I can't decide on a background (I'll tweak fonts and colors later). I figured, since you guys will probably be looking at my blog more than I do,* you should be the ones to decide. I've narrowed it down to the four choices below; click the images for a larger version. The poll is at the end (if you're reading this in your e-mail, RSS reader, on Facebook, etc. you'll have to click through to vote).
* Most of my interaction with the blog is through the dashboard and e-mail, honestly.
Blue:
Cliff:
Ocean:
Palms:
(If you can't see the poll, ).
Thanks for voting. Feel free to make further comments in the comments, as I reserve the right to ignore the results of the poll in favor of a really persuasive argument.
I can't see the poll - but I vote for Blue, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe poll isn't showing in Chrome - but it is in Internet Explorer.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity and the curves that you've got now - all the new ones have very square corners, even in Chrome.
I pretty much like the backgrounds in the order you've posted them: blue, cliff, ocean. I'm not so keen on palms.
I look at my own website a lot! I fiddle with it, check it out, and look at old posts and enjoy again the comments people made. Sad, I know. I normally see yours in a reader, except when I comment.
Thanks for your votes, guys. I don't know why the poll's not showing up. Hopefully I can figure it out soon.
ReplyDelete(And I do look at my blog a lot. I was just ashamed to admit it ;-).
I just happened to happen by today and was happy to come upon a vote, because who doesn't enjoy giving an opinion?
ReplyDeleteI like the blue!
Thanks for stopping by, inside. And thanks for your opinion!
ReplyDeleteI think the poll's working now ("think" being the key word). Those of you who did a comment-only vote, feel free to throw your opinion in the pot.
Or not I guess, since I know what you think :-)
It's showing in my Chrome... I'm double voting for Blue (I'm not from Chicago, but let's pretend).
ReplyDeleteI voted for cliff for you, because I want the blue. I've been toying with the idea of a new look, but haven't liked any on the old blogger. This is a very interesting look; thanks for the preview, its what I've been looking for.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got the message on my e-mail, but haven't checked it out yet. Now I will.
I like all the backgrounds, but the thing for is: it has to not overwhelm the rest of the post. I've visited some blogs that there is so much busy in the background, I can hardly read the post, or the "gadgets". Very annoying. So, I go for easy reading formats - something that doesn't distract too much from the content of the blog itself.
Hince, my preference for the solid blue background. But, the cliff is nice too; and with your blog title "Echo", I think it would suite the atmosphere you're creating for your readers.
I don't know if you changed anything, but the poll worked fine for me.
ReplyDeleteFirst time visiting your blog but I voted anyway. For ocean. Anything named ocean will always get my vote. And I did not realize that blogger had new templates.
ReplyDeleteI agree with KarenG about oceans always getting my vote. This picture might work well for my next present from you, just in case you're wondering.
