What do you think?

I've pared down and simplified, but I'm not entirely sure that I should go this simple. I'd love your comments and advice.

  1. I like it, but that is me and my give me negative space to rest my eyes while I am actually reading the posts. I have a closet filled with clothes, but I always end wearing the same Lilith little black dress because I feel comfortable without having to worry about accessories. Same with just about everything, so simple is better for me. Beside, you know I will read anything you write no matter how it comes wrapped to me.
    Chanel's advice: before leaving the house look in the mirror and take off something. Elegance is simplicity.

  2. I loved the previous graphic and the way it curled around the words. It fit beautifully with the name of your blog.

    What design program are you using? this looks like more than just he default blogger layout.

  3. I like this in a lot of ways because I like clean lines, but I feel this is a bit stark for you and the way your blog is. Does that make sense? I also like the "door" but I think it takes up too much space at the top. IMHO. In the end, I like what you write, so I'll always come back!

  4. It's beautiful; I loved the mermaid theme, but maybe it's time for a change. It's about what YOU like.

  6. I miss the mermaid. This seems seasonal..advent-like. Perhaps the mermaid will swim back?

  8. I like the strength and color in your new masthead.

    And I think you're entitled to change with time and the way you feel. Live with this one a while, change if you feel like it.

  10. I was just about to comment that the all-white background was a tad bit too simple and didn't reflect your blog's (or your) personality, but then you changed the background to green. It looks very seasonal and Christmasy now :)

  11. I'm not one to talk, because I've changed my site look often and always end up with something very simple, but I loved your previous site. I actually thought about it even when I wasn't reading it, which is unusual for me, since graphics aren't my thing (hence my own, rather plain site.) I also showed it my husband who is very visually-oriented and he loved it too. It fit the title of your blog. But I agree with others- I'd read it if it had no graphics at all!
