Blog Changes
I've played around with some of the new template designs available now on Blogger in Draft, but I'm not entirely convinced. What do you think ... yes or no?
My first sale!
And yes, I really am talking about selling something I've written! The Wild Rose Press has offered to contract a short story I wrote ages ago, currently titled Let's Misbehave . This story is set in 1920s London and is completely different to what I usually write, but it was also the most fun I've had writing and the words just flowed out of me. There are still some major revisions to get through, but I'll keep you all updated of progress as it happens.
Hmmm. I love the heart background, and the way the main section scrolls over it. The colour is strong and definite; the writing stands out clearly. Perhaps the heart logo with the man, roses and lady in red is one heart too many? maybe have a contrast there? (eg pink or white roses, or some shade of green to bring out the red. Purple or white go well with red; they're its counterpoint on the colour wheel.) But overall the effect is good. It suits you.
ReplyDeleteI love the edging, and as Judes said, everything reads well - but the red is very dark red - I'm guessing the templates don't give you much options such as choosing a slightly lighter shade? Do you know that there are sites where you can get free blogger templates and import them into blogger?
ReplyDeleteLike the edging! I think I may have to fiddle with my blog... It's so boring compared to yours! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the heart background too! I didn't know there were new templates available either I will have to have a looksie.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts background but agree with most ladies that there's just too much red going on now! However - the whole effect has gone very bold! :-) Is this a sign of what's happening to you on a personal level too? :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Very romance writerly. Of course, red is my favourite colour so in my opinion it's not possible to have too much red!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous.
Love it, Romy.

Love it, Romy, It's gorgeous. Maybe change the colour of the heroine's dress or the roses just for a bit of contrast?
