New Blog Header Alert!

37 comments

Hello friends!

Look up! (Or click through if you are reading this in my email subscription or Google Reader!)

I just put up my new blog header! I am working out changing some of the colors on my blog to match it better (I’m thinking a gray background instead of purple now, and maybe a white banner around the header… thoughts?)… but as for now, what do you think?!

Here was the runner up, with a photo of my Curried Barley Chickpea Salad instead of the Zesty Kumquat Quinoa Salad currently in the one above — I had a really hard time deciding between the two!

And for previous reference — my old header!

The new one is very different, but I think I like it! I love that it includes my logo and matches my business cards now… cohesion is a good thing 🙂 I just need to get used to seeing it when I open my blog now!

So… what are your thoughts?? 🙂 I hope you love it!

A big thank you to my awesome graphic designer Bailey for dealing with 134098230948209 rounds of edits with me! She’s the best 🙂

  • Looks great! Although they both look delicious the quinoa salad makes for a prettier picture.

  • I love the new one and love the colors. I love everything about it. No gray, but that's just me, I don't like gray anything. But if decide on gray, I will learn to love it.

  • I love the new photos and the new header -- keep the purple! I loved the original colors of the purple/rasberry with the greens. I don't think gray will work, but I'd have to see it first to be sure.

  • Looks good! But did you save it as .jpg or .png? If you didn't save it as .png, I suggest doing that to get rid of some of the graininess.

  • Anne, I love the blue row under your header that says Home About Me Recipes, etc. I love the color. It is blue (correct). I have difficulty with some of the different shades of color sometimes, some blues are actually green and visa versa but that is a physical problem I have. Anyway I love the colors. It pops.
