Tehee, I thought that might get some attention. Okay, so I haven’t had a facelift but my blog has! I love mucking around with graphics, colours and themes and often practice new themes from the back end of my blog, but where’s the fun in that? I was also very annoyed to see that my blog rendered fine in Firefox and Opera it looked all skewif in IE. The right column wasn’t where it should be and things like that. It bugged me. So I played around with it. I had been toying with the idea of going with a completely different style- still sticking with 3 columns but both on the same side- it’s very Web 2.0 of me eh? Usually I spend some time tweaking the template to suit me and reflect my taste in colours but this new template is straight out of the box! Do you like it? ‘They’ say that a change is as good as a holiday (ever wondered who ‘they’ are?) so this is my new look for 2008.
So, I went away from my usual purples and went with a beautiful design from InfoCreek. For some reason, this theme reminds me of the series of books I’ve recently enjoyed: Chronicles of the Kings by Lynn Austin but I don’t know why.
I have tested this template (Aspire) in 4 different browsers and it looks fine for me. I hope it does for you too. If however, you do not like the new look, you can choose to view my blog using a different theme.
Maybe you like the old one (Dark Ritual) or maybe a deep pink patchwork is more your style (Bonita).
Downtown Java is a pretty theme inspired my love of coffee and blue florals.
Techicon is a simple, purple design, because I still love purple.
Vertigo Electrified is also a 3 column, maroon, black and white theme which is quite quick to load.
And just because I still love purple, there is the WP_Premium. It also loads quite fast.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, on the right hand side you should find a section that says “Theme Switcher“. Just click on the template that loads best for you and you’ll zoom around this site as quick as a flash.
If you have any problems with the site or any feedback, don’t hesitate to drop me an email or leave a comment.
I Love love love the new look!! How
Well it’s Tres Avant Guard! – cutting edge, or is that burnt edges (wink)
I don’t mess around with the them switchers, it confuses me.. (I’m a simple gal)

WOW I love it! Just stunning. Good job. ❗
I know that I’m way behind the times with this internet stuff, but I’m still using IE and the right column isn’t showing properly…the recent posts section is blurred into your quote box.
hth
BTW it all look great!
Hi Lisa,
It only does that for a quick second. if you mouse over the quote section it rights itself immediately. It’s because the quotes are changed with every page load so IE is a bit slow.
But more importantly, why aren’t you using the superior-in-every-way Firefox? It truly is a much better and more efficient experience.
Oh thanks btw,
Susan <
LOL, I might give it a try!

Hey! I think the new blog theme looks great! I am going to try and keep reading this blog more and more, I just found it recently, and so far I seem to like it 🙂
Well thank you. I’m glad you like it here. I appreciate your comments!
I have been to your site (very nice 😉 ) and wondered if you had a ‘purpose’, ‘mission statement’ or ‘about me’ section?
I am still working on it! Right now I don’t have any plans to treat it as a blog, but more of an information place for people to learn more about the Bible. Still though its a work in progress, and hopefully over time it will grow 🙂
