I made a new layout day before yesterday with a pretty awesome banner featuring "She's so refined I think I'll kill myself" and also the gum-chewing TwiGeneKelly-Moms from Singin' in the Rain. But then when I looked at it I felt dissatisfied. I was tired of the two-columns-with-banner-above layout; I wanted a new, bolder composition dynamic.

So I spent yesterday investigating layouts with navigation on the side. I like the new Minimalism template with its shiny buttons, rounded corners, and resizability. However, its customizability is low - you can't easily alter the colours (though of course adding a banner is always simple). I ended up using Bloggish, which is styled entirely with CSS.

The layout I've got now is incredibly simple and I'm incredibly in love with it. Considering how little trouble it was to set up, it's kind of amazing how well it turned out!



I would immediately commence making a bunch of colour variations of the wallpapers except, of course, I can only use one at a time. And you basically couldn't get a more pleasing colour combination, for me, than the current one.
