What do you think?

Hello there,
I have been trying to make the blog layout more pleasant to look at and perhaps a bit easier to navigate. At this moment, it is a work in progress, but I would love your feedback on how to not only make it look better, but give you more of what you would be interested in what you might like to see here or any ideas for improvement. Right now I am just starting to jazz it up a bit, but not go overboard. I welcome most anything you, the reader, would have to say. Please share in the comments what you think or tweet me at @CuddleLop.

This is a pretty short post today. Thanks for coming to read this blog. I hope you do enjoy your stays here. Please let me know would make your stay here most pleasant!
Thanks,
Mary Ellen

  1. hi, very unusual looking blog header that goes with your theme :) Like that .. but I think you should change the font color on the rabbit to blacck , darker green etc.. so it's easier to read. You could also move the text down or in the dark part of the rabbit and keep the font color. Just so it's easier to read. Love the welcoming blog description ) will be back for some tea :)

  2. Hi...Wanted to thank you for joining my Wacky Weekend Hop! I do like the maroon color you are using for the blog page...I agree with Sunithi however about the font for the text on the rabbit area, that needs to be much easier to read, in fact I had a very difficult time reading it myself...But at least you are working on your own self hosted blog, I am still on a free one via wordpress but am getting very discouraged as it doesn't allow me to add any kind of java script which means no GFC! ugh...Soon I will get my own self hosted site however!

  3. @Sunithi, I thank you for your feedback. I tried following your suggestions, but there seems to be limitations with what Blogger will allow me to do.I might have to try redoing the header from scratch. Perhaps I'll try a different photo, now that I know how the script is going to land! I will keep trying! Thank you very much! You are welcome to come for some tea anytime!!!

  4. @Coronaryrn I also wish to thank you for your feedback. There seems to be limitations with this program. Actually my blog is a free one also through Google Blogger aka Blogspot. I am in the early stages of trying to learn what all this is and figuring it all out. I've been reading about how to dress up the pages ect. I do get turned off by some blogs that have way to many little icons on them placed haphazardly, that are hard to navigate and don't much quality content. I'm trying to learn from what I like and don't like. Also, thank you for hosting the Wacky Weekend Hop. I like the relaxed feel of it. It had a very welcoming feel to it! I wonder about the GFC. That sounds weird that it won't take it. Perhaps it's a competition thing between the two blog things. I forget, are you on Networked Blogs through FB. I like the feel of that. It also has a friendlier feel to it. I don't give them all my personal data. I just don't like "Big Brother" having such easy access to all my own info. I'm just careful, but I like the tool they have- it will announce new blog post links on any of your Twitter or FB accounts you designate. If I learn anything new and think its worthwhile I'll be glad to share it with you. You are welcome to a cup of tea just like Sunithi.
    Thanks,
    Mary Ellen
    PS I will start a section with blogs I like fairly soon, so when you see that please remind me and I'll put in your blog. I'm just worrying I might forget one while I'm in the beginning stages here!
