But it’s still k2!

I had to refresh to get the changes, by the way. You might want to make a note of that in the post or something.

‘Twas certainly quite pink. I like the flowery approach though.

I liked thr burgundy. It wasn’t oppressive at all. Not sure about that green, it’s a little insipid. Hospital green.

Yes Rich, it is still K2 and I expect it will stay K2 for some time to come. I just don’t have the time, skill, or resources to go custom-made. K2 does what I need it to and does it quite well. Why switch?

Thank you Spooky - I’m not sure what prompted the flowers but I was just playing and decided I liked it.

Ok, as we can’t be having hospital green…

*fires up Photoshop again*

I like the new header. The row of Penguins was getting a bit dated.
Oh, by the way. I changed my URL again. system13.wordpress.com. The fact that the URL wasn’t matching my blog title was really, really bugging me.

Your minion link has been updated. Again.

I like it and it’s a bright meadow k2 so cool

Thank you
And I’ve decided the blue is staying for now. I’m finding it all light and airy and fresh. It seems good to me.

Light and airy is a good description of it.

Blog tweaking is a dangerous road down which I try to resist the urge to travel often. Otherwise I could lose an entire weekend perfecting the look–the header, the colors, a couple fancy new plugins, etc. Yes. Dangerous indeed.

I let myself have the occasional tweak-fest every month or so. I wait till all the little annoyances I have with the current set-up build to an unbearable level, then SPLURGE. It’s great fun
I’ve got a few days holiday (thank god!). Perfect time for tweaking! House to myself during the day. No one to make me feel guilty for still being in my PJ’s at 3pm and playing loud (bad) music… Bliss

A very nice evolution. I am glad you didn’t go totally loopy, and, instead, simply made things smarter and fresher.

Thank you Jack It was tempting to go totally fruit-loops, switch the colours to go to dark background/light text, maybe even go for a new theme (shock!) then I figured it was too much work and I’m really rather happy with K2 so why bother?

This is perfect—like you, I believe in evolving things bit by bit (plus I have a lot of pages to redesign if I ever changed the blog one!).

Ah, the beauty (and curse) of well designed CSS. It’s possible to *completely* change how your site looks by just editing one little file.

And can we stop talking about redesigning now? I am starting to get itchy fingers again…

The penguin with the pink background is more pretty than with the green background. If you want to give it a sleek, rich metallic look, try blending options on it. And then ‘bevel/emboss” to add remarkable effects to it. The more you tweak and practice in adobe photoshop, the more you get addicted to it. that’s my experience of four years talking. =D

Thank you for your input Emily. After an entire month of pink (October) I think I’ll give it a miss for now, but I certainly agree that playing with Photoshop is very addictive!
