New Look

I was playing around with the site today and I'm not sure if I like it just yet. I need feedback and some ideas. Let me know what you think.

marathon mom said...: I'm not sure about the background color and if I like it stretched out across the page. Before, it used to bug me how much dead space was on the sides. I am going to try a different version and you can tell me if you like it better.; May 15, 2010 at 5:36 PM
Patty said...: I like this one better, but I wish it was the colors from the old one. I agree about the dead space on the sides of the old one, it bugged me too. I would probably pick this new one as my favorite so far.; May 15, 2010 at 5:41 PM
marathon mom said...: I think the grey background is easier on the eyes. I'm trying to go for the viking colors since that is kind of how we are connected.; May 15, 2010 at 5:50 PM
Patty said...: Too plain for me, I do like the different colors though.; May 15, 2010 at 6:02 PM
Claire said...: I always have a hard time accepting change, but I'm getting used to it. I love the pink!; May 16, 2010 at 5:29 AM
marathon mom said...: I think I like the dots the best. I just wish I could change the M.O.R.E. title on top. It won't let me change the color or font.; May 16, 2010 at 8:13 AM
Patty said...: I do like the dots the best, everything else just looked too plain. I agree about the font for the title, and I am still missing the pink.; May 16, 2010 at 8:27 AM
marathon mom said...: I'm not sure about the picture in the upper left corner. I wish I could make it smaller because it is throwing off the layout and leaving too much of a gap on top.; May 16, 2010 at 8:30 AM
marathon mom said...: Even though I hate having all that empty space on the sides, I'm finding that it is much easier to read when the post is not spread out so wide.; May 16, 2010 at 8:34 AM
Patty said...: I like this layout the best, except for the three dark dots at the top of the page. It makes the text harder to read, but it is a small thing. Everything else I like.; May 16, 2010 at 12:40 PM
