I would love some opinions. I have been messing around with things tonight on a test blog.
I can't decide if I like the look of it or not. (I actually have already changed it since posting my message. LOL Now it has with more stars on it. But, I do have a less star option as well. I have also done a whole bunch of other patterns as well, but these were the ones I liked best so far.)
I also can't decide if I actually like three columns or not.
I was actually pretty set that I wanted to get a custom designed blog. But, then the person I was going to go with listed on her information that you can't use the blogger widgets, but rather have to use it like the old Blogger. And, dang it -- I like the ease of use of the widgets.
So...any feedback would be great. The test blog was just for testing and tweaking stuff before doing anything to my current blog.
thanks!!!
(Edited to Add: Never mind -- I'm done testing, and have changed this blog! WooHoo!)

I do like the blue, Angie. But, I'm a blue person.
Yeah -- blue is my favorite color too. :)
My browser is Firefox and the 3 columns were messed up when I checked it. The right column didn't start until under your center column posts. Otherwise it looked good.
Thanks, Heather. I had that happen last night with IE because I was trying to make the columns wider than I probably should have. I may tweak them again in a bit and check it through Firefox.
I like it. the blue is very soothing.
I like it a lot! How did you get a 3-column layout? I don't see those as "available"...
Barb -- Three columns aren't available on Blogger -- I just followed directions on the following site to tweak the coding: http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/three-columns-blogger-template.html
Aldara posted it the other day to my comments, and it was the first time I saw a site that actually explained it well (for my understanding, anyway).
Hee-hee, I'm being selfish here. Or maybe greedy? Anyway, are you doing this for others, by any chance? I think I asked you on your autumn diasy blog, maybe...
Your designs over there are nice!
Sharon -- No...you are totally not being greedy! I made myself a note to email you after you commented on the Studio blog, but then have been so busy that I forgot to do it! I'll try to email you today and see exactly what you are interested in.
I do have some premade banners that are only like $6.00 in the Studio ( http://www.autumndaisy.com ) that will actually fit a lot of Blogger templates. For example, my banner at the Studio Blog ( http://autumndaisy.blogspot.com ) is the exact same banner (size wise, etc) as the one in my Etsy store, I just changed the wording on it. Actually -- I'm going to be redoing both those banners, since I am coming up with a logo for the Autumn Daisy Studio, so those banners will be gone.
Anyway, I haven't really thought of what to charge for custom stuff, but I am willing to do it. I just have never done any design work except for me to use. I made logos before for my photography business (when I had it), I made the old banner for this blog (with the daisies...which I also am not using anymore and may sell that design in the Studio), the banner on the Catholic Mothers Online blog, this new banner, and then the Autumn Daisy one, of course.
Okay...I really should just email you all this instead. LOL
Thanks, Angie. :)
