If you have vis­ited my blog before, you will notice that there is a new look and feel. I was talk­ing with a friend yes­ter­day about the pre­vi­ous lay­out, and com­mented that I thought it felt a lit­tle dark. He smiled and quickly agreed. FYI — I really appre­ci­ate candor. 

This is not the best exam­ple because it’s using the ‘lights’ instead of the wood back­ground I used. I should have grabbed a screen cap­ture of the old lay­out before mak­ing the change.

So, this morn­ing I scanned through a num­ber of tem­plates and installed the one you see now.  It feels brighter and a bit more stream­lined. It also has a nice fea­ture — in the top right cor­ner — that allows you to expand the blog to full screen width. Click the <> and the blog will expand. Click it again and it will return to a cen­tered lay­out.  I am still try­ing to fig­ure out why the text enlarge­ment fea­ture is not work­ing. (The AA ) in the top right, as well. I sus­pect it may have been “lost in trans­la­tion” when the theme was con­verted from a Word­Press format.

So, give me you feed­back. What do you think of this new layout?
