There's a new look in town!

-


So, I've been thinking about giving the blog a facelift for a while now, and only over the weekend, I realised which colour I fancied switching to. And then things kind of came together a bit. This is the result. If you're using a feed reader (such as, but not limited to, Google Reader, which is a tremendously good idea for keeping up to speed with all the blogs you follow, just a tip), you'll have to actually - gasp - click through to the post to see. But anyway. Whatcha reckon? Yay or a nay? :)

    Love it! My only critique is that the headers in the sidebar (get in touch, previously on the squeee) are so dark against the black that they're barely visible. Then again, it might just be my work computer, which sucks lol I'm in the process of redoing mine as well... need to get on that :)

    Thanks gals! I'm still playing around a bit with the sidebar(s), trying to figure out how I want them and where and everything.

    VAB87, I think that's just your computer, because they're a dark colour ... but they're not on black - they're on the same colour as the rest of the sidebar, i.e. a very light purple (or technically, a white with a slight opacity to let the background shine through). o.O

    Love everything except the fact that the main text box thing isn't in the middle anymore. I miss the balance. But the colours are lovely, the header is amazing and the overall look is very neat and professional and yet, you know, FUN :)

    Cheers, me dears! Glad you're liking it. :)

    Elin: Yeah, there is that. Difficult trying to balance it, but I like how things are grouped ... I think. This is more similar to the way it was when the blog started out. I liked having the archive on the left, but wanted some more space for the search box and email subscription. Aww, I'll see how we get along for a bit and if I like it or not. Right now, I'm thinking that the grouping looks a bit messy, but I really don't like when blogs require loads of scrolling just because the sidebars are too long. Anyway, thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. :) I wanted something that was nice to look at while at the same time, perhaps looking a bit more professional.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
