I've reached that day with this blog. I think it is time to try a new look. As much as I like the clean white, it has become a little stale. I've played around with the Blogger HTML5 templates and I really like a couple of them. I set up the "flipcard" template for use with our new staff/patron book review site and it looks great since there is jacket art for each flip card.
I think for this blog, I'd rather use the "sidebar" template because I don't always have a nice photo to accompany my ramblings...although maybe that would be a good challenge for me. Anyway, there's a listing down the side (surprise!) and the main body of the post appears on the right. These templates use the latest whiz-bang stuff: HTML5, CSS3, and Ajax to allow fast switching between posts and much more rapid image loading, etc.
Just so I have something by which to remember the old look:
As an aside, while I was looking for something new for this blog, I did a Google image search for "sample blog styles" and this was the 6th image in the list:

| Bloggers like a nice pint of Porter? |
Anyway, the look may change again if I try this one out for a while and it doesn't suit me. Let me know what you think.
Thank you for reading!
