...but after nearly a year, it was time to say goodbye to that...that...what to call it?...that red bar that acted as my header all this time.
Be brutal. I can take it. Do you like the picture? Too dark? Too blurry? I did it for effect, but I'm rethinking it.
And what do you think about sidebars? Put back the theme buttons? Leave 'em off?
Anyone know how to do that? *whimper*

I love, love, love that new header GB. It's beautiful! Hello girls!
And, although I'm so excessively proud of your *wimper* (hee hee), I'm clueless to help get your stuff back.
*sigh*
As soon as I clicked onto your blog today I was immediately impressed with your new header. I think it looks very professional---like something from a magazine. I don't know anything about the sidebars to help you. You've seen my blog----I'm Miss Plain and Simple. :)
I love it! The picture is great and captures why you blog so well. I like the clean lines and readability of the sidebar. Well done my friend!
Hmm. I don't feel entitled to comment on your new header, since I'm a (fairly) new reader, but I think it's a *tad* blurry. I do love it, but instead of effect, it feels like a bad take of a picture. I hope I said that tactfully! I was hoping to, anyway!
I like the new layout...cleaner and simpler. Your "about me"picture is lovely.
I love it! Very classy looking!
I love! Love! Love! the new header. The photo is perfect!
In fact, as I think back on those precious years....the memory is a little blurred.....but the feeling in my heart is brilliantly clear!
My vote is.....keep it!
Lovely!

I love it! I don't even know what theme buttons are, so I have no idea how to get them back.
Is it hard to use a photo header? I have never tried, but I would like to. Hints?
The look is good. The darkness and blur of the image sends the message (to me at least) that this is a glipse (as opposed to a crisp, detailed account) into the life of you and your family. I think it's very suiting. But besides that, I come here to read one of the best blogs out there! I've referred your blog to my wife and friends. Keep it up.
I LOVE it! And I agree with Robert, as usual.
I recommend widgets. They make adding sidebar links and buttons so much easier to manage.
I'm no expert, but you're welcome to email me if you need help.
I like it. It's just an image, not a photo, of your home and girls. I like that.
And, sorry. I'm going to be no help on anything to do with sidebars or widgets or buttons.
Unless you need one sewn on. Then I'm totally going to be able to help you! Because my sewing skills are AMAZING!
Oh, the second Brenda cracked me up with her amazing sewing skills. LOL
I love this new header. It's perfect for your blog and it's kind of dramatic looking, in a calm kind of way.
Yeah. There I go making lots of sense again.
I like your sidebar too. It's clean and simple and I like that. But where's your beautiful music?
And what's a widget?
Oh GB, you did a great job on your redesign. I really love the header pic. Your girls are adorable. Like someone else already said it's clean, crisp and easy to read.
I love, love, love it. I immediately was amazed when I opened your blog. The picture is perfect. Not too blurry, not too clear all at the same time. It gives a nice image, without being to clear. It looks professional.
Great job.
*LOVE* it..I agree with Pam..like it's from a magazine! The blur for effect adds just the right touch. Wow...beautiful pic.
I thought I'd typed in the wrong blog address....but low and behold you were still there. I think the picture is blurry, BUT I understand what you are conveying with it being blurry, so I think it's quite fitting.
And as far as side bars, I'm with most of the others, I have NO idea!
It's FABULOUS! and I think the little bit of blur adds a a neat feel that I don't know how to express.... (((((HUGS))))) sandi
I don't know if you did it on purpose, but I like the placement of the red chairs in the photo. Good balance while still being abstract.
I like it. The title jumps out and not the image.
As for buttons or advice, I am no help. I want to change some things on my own blog and it takes me FOREVER just to do simple template adjustments.
I like the news look! But I am really missing the music! Please?
I like it, a lot! :)
Love the picture and new blog design! It was fun to come and see your new look! :)
I do think the title could be a *bit* bolder, just to stand out a bit more. I like the white, but some of the letters seem to fade to the background.
I love the clean look, though. And, I love the sidebar-- nice and simple. And I love the font color. :)
Great job, GB! Now I want to change my look. :)
