Why you and we all liked it at first glance was that it was new, and exciting to the eye. We're used to your template that's all. A first time visitor may well have preferred your current one. If youmust redesign, look at the layout, I say, not the colour. your archive, for instance. Could you shorten that? Say to just offering year, then when you click on 2003, it opens up the months? Maybe the same with all thise blogs. Right now your sidebar looks a tad out of control. I'd do that, or play around your edges - not go for a full re-write!

(You know that way you get with BlogSpot blogs that are so similar you end up forgetting which blog you're reading? :)). If you're keeping the template, I happened across <a href="http://www.redalt.com/tools/kubrickr.php" rel="nofollow">Kubrickr</a>, a sweet tool that simplifies setting the masthead background to a photo from Flickr, rather than the big blue box. (Now that I write that, it doesn't seem so remarkable, but I'm sure it does something interesting with it....) By the way (commenting with an ulterior motive? Never!) I wondered if you'd be interested in joining <a href="http://www.mrry.co.uk/guff/" rel="nofollow">GUFF</a>, a little aggregator site I'm running for blogs of students, alumni and staff of Glasgow Uni. More content is always welcome! The new default Wordpress template certainly looks slick, but it’s a little generic for my liking.
