New Year, New Theme

December 28, 2010 By

Okay, it’s not the New Year YET, but I was in the mood to make a fresh start today.  This is the “Pixel Happy” child theme for the Genesis Framework by StudioPress. I tried replacing the entire header with a custom-made one, but it didn’t end up in the right place. You’d think after 5 1/2 years of blogging I would have figured out how to replace a header by now, you know?

Anyway, I know the sidebars need work but I’ve been staring at this blog for like 3 hours off and on and I need a break from it, so I’m going to stop tweaking and step away for a little while.

Edited to add: Looky, I made a header.

Help me break in this new theme by leaving me a comment about something! Anything! A link to a blog post, a link to a Flickr photo, a link to a tweet.  Whatever strikes your fancy!

A Message to Readers of MomReviews

May 24, 2008 By

My dearest, sweetest, loveliest readers, I know it probably drives you crazy that every time you come here, the theme has changed yet again. I’m breaking one of the biggest rules for how NOT to look like a new blogger. I’m supposed to find a theme and stick with it, so that every time you come here, you know exactly what to expect.

But, I am NOT SATISFIED. This theme that I have now, it’s close, but it’s just not quite right. I like the width, how it takes up most of the screen rather than be squished into the middle like so many free blog themes are. I like that it has room for my four BlogQuake ads, but, I don’t know, there’s just something missing. Something that says “hey look! It’s the MomReviews blog!”

*le sigh* I just want it to be perfect for YOU, because YOU are the ones coming here to read! It’s all you, you, YOU! So, I’ll keep looking, trying new things, and one of these days, I just might have to pay for a custom design so that it’s everything I want. Feel free to leave suggestions about themes, too. If I ever have one that you just don’t like, go ahead and say so, it won’t hurt my feelings, I promise :)
