A Whole New Look

Do you ever get the itch to put a new color on the wall? Or to buy all new furniture? Or even just to change out all the pictures in a given room? The itch that wants you to alter your surroundings.

Yeah, that itch. Well, it turns out I've been suffering from this for some time not only at This D*mn House but also where the blog bearing its name is concerned. I wanted to do a little changing up of the whole layout. Blogger recently made some changes that supposedly made this easier and I've been playing with them off and on during the past few weeks. It's never been one of my strongest suits but I'm slowly getting better at it.

After trying a variety of different combinations, this is what I've hit upon -- at least for now. One of the biggest and most immediately noticeable changes is the logo. Do you like that? It's something that has actually been in use for more than two years on my Houseblogs.net profile. In fact, it was created specifically for that.

Recently though, I've been asked for my "logo" by different people for different reasons. So, it's out there. It's showing up different places. That got me thinking. Shouldn't it be on this site then?

I actually have a different picture that I wanted to use as my background but I haven't figured out how to do that. (This painting ladder scene was as close to DIY as I could find amongst Blogger's current offerings.) So, it could potentially change. If I was betting, I'd put money on it changing. That's due in large part to the fact that I still don't know what I'm doing. As I slowly figure it out, change is inevitable.

It's all still under construction so I hope you'll hang with me as I put it through the paces. I'm sure I've already made some mistakes but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Right?
