Blog-a-Thon

BlindIrishPirate's wonderful blog, A Human Attempt at Flight, chronicles the life of a woman and her work and her family and her musings. She's pretty cute in person, too. This week, while she is out of town, she is having a "Blog-a-Thon" featuring guests posts, and one of them is mine! The other posts from this week are great too, so check them all out!

If you're into conservation or recycling or papermaking or just plain incredible people, you should visit http://anne-morningstar.blogspot.com/. She's pretty much the coolest thing since sliced bread.

New look, same old dribble...

So now my blog is pretty. Or prettier. Ahh, white space, how I love thee. I could write sonnets to my devotion to white space and untrapped copy and images that face the proper way. Yes, there is a proper way for images to face. Thank you, yearbook! Thanks go out to my eight (EIGHT! I feel so popular!) faithful readers for your input. It was five to three, and you all voted for my two favorites, so I'm proud of each and every one of you. *Sniffs* Brings a tear to my eye.

A big thanks also to Chris The Carpool Buddy for providing the inspiration for the new tag line. It's supposed to be contradictory, you know, because I fancy proper grammar. Did I need to explain that? Oh, well, I just did. I had to use proper apostrophes, though, sorry. I can only go so far.

Choose or Die (or whatever...)

I would like to change up my blog and make it more visually appealing, so I need your help, dear readers! Below are four quick and dirty blog headers that I created. Yes, I totally stole the images from iStock, but don't worry, when I have a final selection, I promise I will buy the actual image! For now, just ignore iStock's moniker!

In the comments section, write in your choice or tell me that everything I created is just ugly and I should just abstain from Internet blogging until the end of time. I'll leave the polls open for a good while until everyone stops caring (oh, too late you say?) or a clear winner is decided.

Number One: Cutesy!








Number Two: Mysterious!








Number Three: Tall Tales!








Number Four: A Cartoon Kitten!
