A BLOG ON THIS BLOG ABOUT THIS BLOG
Meta subject is meta.
As you may have noticed, this site now has a new layout! Now, I really really like it, and if I use pictures as headers instead of trying to smoosh the text around it with alignment, even using book covers doesn’t look so bad (see: two posts down). But I’m wondering, is it too narrow? I’ve always been opposed to really narrow layouts; it kind of makes the reading seem chunky (does that makes sense?). So let me know: what do you think? Too narrow? Is that orange too bright (actually, kiss off about the orange, I like it). Let me know in the comments.
If, alas and alack, the layout doesn’t work, fear not; I collected many more yesterday and can easily switch it out. I just wanted something a little more summer-y and this was the only one I could find (well, okay, the only one I could find that didn’t FUCK UP MY ENTIRE SITE’S FORMATTING).
Also, I finished People of the Book today, so blog on that probably tomorrow. Had to put Anansi Boys and History of Violence down for a little while since I have a whole group of books which must return to library land in 14 days which have not yet been read.
All for now; enjoy this gorgeous summer day (if you’re somewhere that it’s gorgeous, and also summer).

Love the orange. Narrow is narrow, *sigh* (My tumblr screws up line breaks FIERCE, but…) I like it for book covers, which is uber-kewl. I’m gonna try refreshing, but older posts seem to get an orange and visible date tab, but the background is white and text is NOT readable.

i like this layout fine. i mean, it isn’t super-fun-tastic making me do cartwheels or anything, but it isn’t ugly or awkward to look at or use, which makes it good. orange is kinda weird, but only because it isn’t everyday, i think, and that’s never a BAD thing. plus, a mix tape, so yay! also, this layout tastes funny. thought you should know.

I like the color, the theme, the general look and feel. I could argue it’s a bit narrow, but I don’t feel like arguing. :D
Frankly, it just makes me happy to see you using your blog because that means my server is getting traffic!
