All change

My friends Sheila and Stephen came to visit me this weekend. It was Stephen who helped me originally to set up my blog, and with him at my elbow again, I plucked up the courage to embark on customising my layout.

I was excited about the possibility of changing my template, as there were features in other people's blogs which I wished to have in my own. However, when I came to experiment, and selected two templates that I liked, I found that among other shortcomings, both of them, having slightly narrower pages than my old one, had a bad effect on my past posts. My careful layouts of photographs had all gone to pot, and I decided to stick with the old template, but to give it a change of colour, and add some new stuff which is now possible with the new blogger. I shall probably go on experimenting, at least with font colours and sizes, but I shall stick with the red header for the time being, and I hope you will be able to recognise it when you visit.
