As for other blogs, as long as I don't have to work too hard to read it, I don't mind much what it looks like. I do notice when I think one is truly awesome, though. :)<br /><br />I like your new look.Shannon O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299313309059235876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199356305799744530.post-3010537969602949652009-12-16T13:45:13.511-05:002009-12-16T13:45:13.511-05:00Love the new look! :) As I'm sure you can te...Love the new look! :) As I'm sure you can tell by my site, I'm a fan of a decorative blog. I don't know if it makes all that much of a difference, but I have fun dressing it up, so I do. I think as long as a blog has good posts, doesn't have ads flashing everywhere, can be navigated easily, and doesn't have a black background with white writing (which hurts my eyes), I'm good.Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199356305799744530.post-56942329648584567062009-12-16T13:06:58.516-05:002009-12-16T13:06:58.516-05:00:D I love it!

I'm on a different comuter than I'm normally on and I wondered if I just didn't get this pretty thing you have going on today on my regular computer. But, then I read your comments. Love it! I think when people go to the extremes in designing a blog/website it can come out as either bad or fantastically wonderful. Most people remain in the cool/cute area, though. Can I say I love this again??BK Mattinglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758638245846622284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199356305799744530.post-85892768374300695962009-12-16T12:26:30.939-05:002009-12-16T12:26:30.939-05:00Yay...made some changes......what do you think????...Yay...made some changes......what do you think????

Google has become the major search engine in this country, and you can't get much simpler than that. If the content is there, and as long as your website or blog isn't annoying, I think you're fine, personally. :)Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199356305799744530.post-73656676475322999372009-12-16T11:45:29.906-05:002009-12-16T11:45:29.906-05:00I don't think it's a make it or break it s...I don't think it's a make it or break it situation when it comes to a blogs appearance. I don't like ones that have too busy of layouts though. I like the simple elegance of this blog. It's not a plain jane type of thing...but it looks very nice and I think it fits well.
