"A blog is merely a tool that lets you do anything from change the world to share your shopping list." ~ Anonymous
How lame is it to blog about your blog? OK, well, I'll keep it short.
Fact is, I haven't changed this site since I first created it so I really felt like the time was ripe for change. Besides, every time I open up my Blog account, the template creator takes centre stage and it seems -- at least lately -- like it has taken on a more menacing quality. Blogger has a new look! (so update this tired mess)
Naturally I resist. I can follow but I'm not a follower. (I dance to the beat of my own kazoo....if you get my drift.) Having said that, after seeing "Blogger has a new look!" day after day after day, a seed had been planted and I guess the idea finally grew roots. Suddenly, nothing is more important than replacing the old polk-a-dot page.
I flipped through the templates and fell in like with page after page of fun and colourful designs. I tried on a few bright and bold templates but the look felt pretentious. I drafted up a couple of "awesome template" samples but in the end I felt like the template over-promised. Let's face it...this isn't your source for daily news or market tips.
The blog references the wordpecker so I instinctively leaned towards nature, birds, trees and settled on a look that felt like a fit. I can tweak it over time but...for now...welcome to the Wordpecker's new look.
