Can You See My Banner Move?

Could you please leave me a comment and let me know if you can see the header move? If it does, does it take a long time to load? Also can you tell me what you're using for a browser - Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla Firefox??
I'd appreciate it!

Template Tweaking by Moi

I can't believe I actually attempted this, but I finally got my hands dirty with my blogger template a bit. After a friend told me that my "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" scared her to death that all the joy had drained from my life and color from my world, I decided to take on a new challenge and work on a nifty new blog design. I wanted a moving header. This is what I came up with for now - The Clearing, finding myself in the thick of it! I used the layout that was designed by Goofy Girl, designed my own animated header, and changed the colors around a bit.
I have quite a few other little tweaks to make, but for now, I'm pretty happy. It isn't very colorful, but I'll have to keep working on it. It was nice to take a little time out of the chaos to do something that I enjoyed - a little creative outlet.
Let me know what you think!

My New Template

Yay! Goofy Girl did it again! I love it. So for all of those who have commented over the last six months or so that my red template was hard to read - here is a little break for you.

I also have this nifty little blockquote thingy going on! Isn't that special? I can't wait to use it from time to time when I want something to stand out.

If you are thinking of a change - I would highly recommend Goofy Girl - she's terrific and very patient! I have some itty bitty changes to make to the sidebars - but I am pretty happy with the new look.
What do you think?

Check it Out!

My sister, who is a new blogger got a schnazzy new blog template design by Goofy Girl! Stop by to say hi! Tell her I sent you.
Mine's next - I'm so excited!

Schnazzy

That Goofy Girl went and did it again. I like the new look of my blog. In fact, the pink was starting to scare me as it is so not me. I love red-ish. I am also satisfied with the new name "Open Book" because that's pretty much what this blog is - my life laid bare for all to see. The one itsy bitsy thing I am not sure about is having the main column to the left of the other two columns. I might get used to them - I'll just try them out for a while, kind of like breaking in a new pair of jeans.

Goofy Girl Does it Again!

My daughter has been blogging more lately - and I wanted her to have it spruced up a bit. I sent an idea off to that Goofy Girl and I was again dazzled and amazed with the results. That is one talented Med student! She is t-riffic! Kendra's new blog design looks like this:
Kendra is addicted to the max to Chai-tea - her favorite being Tazo brand. I asked Heather (a/k/a Goofy Girl) to help us come up with a design that was along those lines and this is what she came up with! Isn't that stupendous! Plus that kid (Kendra) can really write - and needs an awesome blog. It is my gentle way of encouraging her to spend more time blogging and less time on myspace!

Susan Godfrey's Blog Contest

I read about Susan Godfrey's Blog: Contest!! earlier today and I just had to enter. She is giving away a blog design. It isn't for me - because Goofy Girl made my blog just the way I wanted it. I want to win it for a friend who would like to have her blog spruced up a bit. This post is to help publicize her contest. Jump on over there and check it out - she has some very cute graphics for a lucky winner!

I Just Had My Template WOWed!

I am loving this new layout by Goofy Girl! Isn't it awesome? I am loving it! Thanks girl, great job!
