It's later than usual for my Sunday Post but as you can see I have a "New Look" here on the blog! I've been wanting to change things up and finally worked on it today. I took a picture of some of my favorite books for my header picture...can you see the titles? I thought that was fitting for a header picture. I am still tweaking things as the background color is a bit too pink for me, I wanted it more red/burgundy and I'm not sure about the font. I'd love your honest feedback...even if you don't like something I want to hear it!
I have some reviews to write up this week and I'm on spring break this coming week with my son which is exciting! I really needed the break, I think I have tendonitis in my shoulder from all the typing I did on the reports I had due by Friday. I work in special education and there were 14 students that had evaluation reports due. I have to look into some options as I use a laptop and ergonomically it's not the best. A coworker uses her ipad and I'm considering that as an option. I even went out and bought a Brookstone Portable Laptop Desk today at Bed, Bath & Beyond with my handy 20% off coupon and am not sure how much I like it yet. I will give it a try and will even try to use it for kindle and book reading. Does anyone use a laptop desk? How are you blogging using your laptops? Or do you use ipads?

Bonnie, Your new look is very nice and personal. The font is very easy to read for someone with aging eyes like mine. I do like quirkier fonts but I am never brave enough to try them as I think some people find them annoying.
ReplyDeleteNice job
I like the fonts, but I do agree with you on too pink. I think the header photo is fab!!!! I blog and comment with my iPad but I also use my computer too. I have my computer on an elevated stand so that it's tilted for my wrists. I find that a very comfortable fit for me.
ReplyDeleteI made it darker, it's more purple but it's better than too pink. I am hoping that the laptop desk helps. It's padded on the bottom with a table type surface with a tilt.
DeleteI love the new header but agree the background is a little too pink. Just a few shades darker would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI made it a bit darker, still working on it!
DeleteLove the new header photo, Bonnie. Not loving the comments font because it's so different from the post font so my eyes have to adjust (or maybe I'm just too old, lol).
ReplyDeleteI blog on my laptop. Sometimes it's from the dining room table and sometimes from the couch with the laptop on a pillow. I have an iPad but don't like blogging from it but I love to read on it - especially when I'm on the treadmill.
I agree Mary, I was hesitant on the font as it was hard to read. I change it and it's better now. Thanks for your thoughts on the iPad.
DeleteI love the new look!
