Blog Revamp

I have been doing some housekeeping around here. Well, on my blog that is...not so much in my real house! I decided this little blog needed a new look. I wanted it to look a little more "professional", I guess. I actually did a few things to the HTML, which I totally have no idea what that even means - lol, but it changed some things that I wasn't wild about that blogger kind of "makes" you have (such as the nav bar at the top). I also made a signature, which I'm loving. I have kind of changed the feeling of my blog several times since I've started, but I like where it's going now. I really just want to write about whatever I want and not be tied down by a certain "theme". I enjoy doing posts about our adventures as a family, but I also like doing some more serious topics as well. I'm really wanting to be more diligent about writing here and I felt a new "look and feel" were in order for me to feel comfy writing here. I think I might be weird.

Anyhow...I'm liking how it's coming along. I have a few more changes to make, but overall it's feeling more along the lines of what I want.

What do you guys think about the new look? Also, is it slow to load or too overwhelming?

Oooh! I LOVE it, Ash!! I love your new blog layout! And even more I love that you're writing on it more! Chloe is absolutely beautiful. And she looks just like you! You are such a lucky lady to have such a sweet little girl. And Emily Mab says you're a great mom, as well...which I think is obvious. :)

Emily -- Here is where I figured out how to do the 3 column: http://www.threecolumnblogger.com/2008/09/three-column-minima-layout-version.html

Pretty much everything I've done so far I have just used google and there is usually a tutorial somewhere :)
