It was hard to let go of the wallpaper when it took me so long to find just the right one. But this little change was technologically easy.

I don't want to go through that again any time soon. :)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-70900190511873303612012-05-09T13:36:37.156-04:002012-05-09T13:36:37.156-04:00Like Holly mentioned above, the small changes to s...Like Holly mentioned above, the small changes to spruce up are good.

I am viewing now with Chrome and the color bars are there.<br /><br />If you're bored with your blog, a layout change might renew your interest. You might be able to barter with someone to do it for you. Offer to crit or proofread in exchange for a new template. Just an idea.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-85708334520865435842012-05-08T19:46:13.544-04:002012-05-08T19:46:13.544-04:00I don't change my backgrounds.

Now I KNOW I've made the right decision to jettison the wallpaper.<br /><br />I tried approximately 22 different shades of green trying to get one that felt right. Some were too dark or too boring or too retina-searing.
