Today I started personalizing some more.
What a journey!
I made my background green
Then, I changed layouts.
I made a header (or two). You can see them above. They shuffle around so you’ll never know which you’ll get.
And I changed the background from white to blue, to a lighter blue, and a greener blue.
Then to tan, and a redder brown, and then to a darkish gray. Then, I went to the lighter gray that it is now.
So I stayed with light gray because I didn’t want to go through every color of the rainbow. I have such a hard time finding complementary colors and matching. Even with clothes. It’s a curse, I tell you.
I also added an about me blurb on the side. I wanted it to be short and to the point, which is a huge difficulty to me. Plus, I feel like my about page is too long. LOL.
So, I need you to help a color challenged girl out.
How does the theme look with those colors? Does one work better than the other?
How is the blurb on the side?
How do the headers look?
Should I have stuck with the old layout?
Love it
I think that your current color scheme works really well with your header image, and I think your layout looks great, really clean
I also really like your “About” widget; it’s quick and witty… It’s perfect!
Thank you so much for the comment! That makes me feel happy.😀 I was trying to go for quick simply because I feel like my About page is too long, lol.
Anything you need feedback on?
It looks great
I’ll take feedback wherever it’s available! I’m very new to this whole blogging thing, so everything is much appreciated!
Anything in particular or just feedback as a whole?
Hi, you seem to be a person who is spoiled for choices
.
From one such person to another, how about putting some colours on the header?!! Just a friendly suggestion.
Best

Is that another word for indecisive? LOL
What kind of colors?
Your About widget is cute. I like it! Love the wintery mountain scape scene, that I got when visiting. I say if you are content, when you come to your blog, that it makes you feel relaxed or happy, then you have done everything right with colors and layout.😉
Thank you.
I’m not sure I should really be encouraging winter, but maybe when winter actually comes, I’ll just change it to something summery, LOL.
Thanks for the feedback and for visiting. If you need any feedback on your site, let me know.
didn’t see your previous theme or color scheme but this one is nice and soft and easy to look at. I like it.
I tend to prefer minimalism. To much going on around the posts makes it more difficult to focus on the post, which should be the center of attention. I think the gray works great. And it works great with the header photo. I would stay with this definitely.
Thank you. I like more minimalist themes too. Too many widgets amd images and things slow the load page down.
Thanks for the feedback.
Also the tag line works with photo. Those mountains imply everything that is not boring about this world.
Hey Kristina

I like your color scheme. Gray, white, and a touch of… is that dark red? Whatever the underlines in the sidebar are. Subtle, but not downright boring.
Your header is pretty, (I’m looking at the one with the forbidding snowy mountains) but it makes me expect, I don’t know, perhaps a travel journal or a lot of landscape photographs. It’s a little odd with your tagline, because those mountains look Very Serious. (If you meant to create tension between your tagline and the photo, it worked!)
