My blog needs a makeover

I'm sick of the blue and stripes, aren't you? Problem is I haven't had any time in the past couple months to really work on an overhaul.

I think I'm sticking to this theme, though. It's easy to modify and pretty clean-looking. If there's one thing I hate it's a cluttered, glitzy, screaming blog.

Don't get me started on blogs (okay, MySpace pages) that play music as they load. Grrrr.

Anyway, I fooled around with header ideas, namely this one:

(Sorry for the tiny size. It's hard to make it any bigger with bumping into my sidebars.)

Old blog banner

I had a header something like this a couple years ago on the now-defunct Five Dollar Camera, so basically, like al my good ideas, it's a retread. (Or maybe *borrowed* from someone else. Shhh. Don't tell.)

I don't know what I'm going for the rest. I want to do this three-column mod, but I tried it on a practice blog and my third sidebar ended up on my left shoe.

Back to the drawing (blogging) board.

I like the current theme but yes- change is great! The photo header is lovely.

Have you looked at bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com ? She has tons of great hacks, tutorials, and free tweak-able themes:)

Thanks for your comment on my post. If you can't figure out the three-column dealio by yourself, I had http://sweetnsimpledesign.com/ create one for me. I think it was just $30. Well worth the money.
