Shopping

So, this week, I'm going to try some new themes in the design of the blog. Those of you who read regularly, please check in and see what you think. I'll post a post every time I post a theme, and I'll try to leave each theme up for at least a day. Comment to tell me whether you like it or not, and what aspects, specifically, you do and do not like.

A dear friend of mine and regular reader of this blog, who just did a big redesign of her own, said, "It feels to me like putting on a new outfit, or buying a new pair of shoes."

And that's the thing, isn't it? The old wardrobe feels outdated, both in terms of fashion and in terms of who I am right now. But also, I get inclined to stick with the old stuff, because shopping feels like such a pain, even though I am almost always pleased when I do get the new thing. Periodically, all my old shoes wear out at the same time, and like it or not, I have to shop for new ones. Which I generally love so much that I wear them pretty much exclusively until they, too, wear out.

This is way too long a post to say, here's Minima Lefty Stretch.

Of course, some of us read blogs via RSS feeds on Google Reader and therefore probably won't notice any changes. :-)

Seems more like summer to me.

Minima Lefty Stretch sounds like a really cool nickname.
Sorry. That's all I've got.

icanhasyarn-
That is exactly why I will be alerting you all every time I change stuff, so you can come take a look. See how you came back here to comment? Like that.

My opinion? It looks a lot like many of the other blogger blogs out there. I almost think of it as one of the "default" blogger looks. Hope Minima Lefty Stretch doesn't take that as an insult. I just think you need something more unique - something more YOU :-)

It's a nice change, but I won't miss it terribly when you change it again.

I had kind of gotten used to it the way it was... now I'm a little disoriented.
