Grandad has changed the look of his blog.

He was just wondering if any of you had any ideas on the new design? Better? Worse? Indifferent?

[And seeing as I'm posting, how come my "Recent Blog:" isn't working????]

Looks like a feedburner issue:

Head Rambles

http://www.headrambles.com/feed/

**added - I swear that produced errors a few minutes ago. Whatever was broken seems to be fixed so go to Options in your CP here and resave and see if it displays

Strange. The feed is working all right, but it seems to be a bit intermittent.

I just tried Troubleshootize [!!] in Feedburner and it reckons the feed is OK.

I notice it takes a couple of hours for my updates to appear in Google as well.

Greetings BTW . I never welcomed you before!

I like it. It looks a lot more professional than the previous theme. (And that snow was pissing me off). My only quam {is that a word?} is the header image. I still don't get what it has to do with anything.

As I said before elsewhere, that wasn't snow - it was dandruff. And I washed my hair as it was pissing me off too.

As for the header image - it's just a photo I took in France last September, and it brings back lovely memories. I find it relaxing. But I can understand how it might be confusing to others. Any suggestions? Anyone any interior shots of Leas Cross??

{and you were nearly right - it's qualm }

You could try flickr ....

There's an online tool for resizing Flickr images to fit into the standard WP header:

The header image does look a little grainy. As in, not so picture clear, digital zoomed maybe ?

Thanks Michele. Nice one.

I agree about the image. I'm sorry to lose the old one [but I still have it as my wallpaper!] but maybe the new one is a bit more appropriate?

Ho kay so. Latest opinions?
