Hi Dennis — unfortunately like you I have little control over the theme of my blog since I choose to use a company (Edublogs) as opposed to hosting my own blog. This means I can only choose from the themes available and can’t make any changes to the one I use.

The only adjustment I can make is the centering of wording below the banner image because I used photoshop to add the words. I wanted the words because this was the only way I could add a tagline.

Thanks for your thoughts though because I am always fiddling with my theme to improve the look.

Glad you found the post useful.

Sue

Hi Sue,

Caught a comment about the new look on Twitter. Design is important. I envy your control over it. I don’t know how to do that on my blog. Nice presentation and easy to read.

I agree with comments that have been made; however, and this is a nit pit…, when I look at the text above and below the banner image, I want better balance. Just a thought.

Can you get “front page” and “contact” to be equally distant from the respective left and right edge of the image with appropriate spacing between the rest of the words?

On the line below the image, can you center the phrase below the banner image.

Finally, consider how the spacing of the text above and below the banner image aligns.

Details, details….

Helpful post though … thanks for keeping us informed!

Regards,

Dennis Richards

Thanks Michele, Christine and Alex – I am glad you like my new theme. At least this way I can display a tag line and actually take part in activities that let me change my blog colour for a month. Amazing how long it has taken me to find this theme.

I like this theme much better, much cleaner look, less to distract from the content. I also like that the screenshots are a bit less cluttered and easier to follow. Your blog just keeps getting better and better!

Have to agree that I like this look better, Sue. Much cleaner and easier on the eye, although I usually read in my feed reader, unless I’m hopping over to comment.

Hi Kate — you were so quick. I was in the process of changing the banner and was trying to decide on the image. May change it to a Christmas theme but at the moment it is an image of Perth.

Hi James – thanks as you know themes do drive me crazy but this one is working for me. Cool stuff, looking forward to it.

Hi Michael – I agree definitely clean and clear – good to hear accessible. Definitely SnagIT – make sure you check out my other post on Getting More Out of Google Reader as there are even more tips.

Sue, your new theme is clean, clear and very accessible. (What was yr old one again?)

Thanks for the tips on google reader. I’d just discovered the new Discover feature, but had no idea you could drag and drop!!

(Plus your screen grabs with the balloon labels are just brilliant. SnagIt, innit?)

all the best, michael
