I’ve had the color purple on my mind for the last week or so, and finally decided to just go for it. Actually, what really motivated me to make the change to my blog template was when I sat down to draw up some business cards. I ended up with this (go figure - with purple on the brain):
And once that was done… I figured I might as well make the blog match!
So what do you think? Love it or hate it? Cast your vote 
If this is your first visit, here’s a screenshot of the original blog template:
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
p.s. I designed my business cards online at VistaPrint. I wasnt sure how that would work out, but I was really pleased with the process all said and done. The price was even lower than using my local printer for basic black-on-white cards… and I got 2-color on glossy cards, and a lot of flexibility with the design. This is the first time I’ve used them since years ago when I ordered some through their free offer - they really do offer a lot more than they used to!

Thank you! Coming from the two of you, a thumbs up is a high compliment. You both have blog designs that I admire!
Suzanne - I’ve left you a direct comment on your blog about it already, but I have to say again that your template is gorgeous! For anyone that hasnt seen it yet, check out: http://www.busyblogger.com/ - unique, isnt it?
Any and all suggestions are welcomed. I’m still contemplating some changes here and there, and am not stuck on anything in particular just yet!
Thanks

It’s sooooo you, Lynn!
I really like the layout too.
AND those bizcards will probably be all over the Boston area when you attend PubCon - huh?
Ciao!

You really think so? I dont know what inspired me to go purple, to tell you the truth. I dont even know if I’ve ever owned anything purple in my life…
But it’s really growing on me!!
And yeah, I’ll probably exchange a few cards. LOL - I imagine I’ll meet a whole slew of interesting folks at PubCon!

Nice new picture too, Lynny.
But aren’t you missing a right foot???
Lynn Terry // Apr 10, 2006 at 12:04 pm
Yes… didnt you know?
Lynn Terry // Apr 10, 2006 at 12:09 pm
Seriously - that foot didnt make it into the picture. Guess I should photoshop one in, huh? LOL
Jason Cain // Apr 10, 2006 at 12:47 pm
Lynn,
I thought that missing foot was REAL! :O
I was thinking:
“She’s hot… but she’s missing a limb. How would we dance?”
Aloha,
Jason

It’d be awful hard to two-step one-footed, wouldnt it?
Lynn Terry // Apr 10, 2006 at 1:16 pm
Okay boys - better now?
Honestly, it didnt jump out at me… so I appreciate you bringing it up. Let me know if that works for ya.
