Heads Up

I know, I know.  After totally snubbing my nose at New Year’s resolutions and gushing over how much I love my blog, I just couldn’t leave well enough alone.  But, I was reading Alt’s blog over the weekend and came across this post with ten free script typefaces, so I started playing around a little, and well, look what happened.

I adore my awesome wildflower header that Shayla patiently made for me, but as I’m adding more photography, I began to worry that it might compete for attention with the pictures in my posts.  And I’m really loving minimal blog designs right now, so I thought the simple black and white lines, which look a lot like the spiral notebook I keep on my desk, fit with my focus on writing.  I also like the feminine style of script and the pretty little loops that hang down below the lines, always a favorite detail of mine when writing in cursive.  Plus, I’m really proud of myself for making my own header, so I’m going to stick with it for now.

Ryan always hates it when I change things on my blog (he says it makes me look flaky), but he did approve of this header.  He suggested adding color, which I will consider, and maybe I’ll dress it up every now and then with little details.  But for now, I’m enjoying its quiet elegance at the top of my blog.

I’ve yet to work out the details of a new blog button (and I am graphically challenged), but we’ll see what I can do.

I hope you like my new header as much as I do, and feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
