I know a couple of people liked the white background look but trawling around t'internet it seems that the world and his wife are now sporting the bright white template look on their blogs. So I decided I positively wanted to something that was by contrast (literally) negative!
Not sure about the blue for banner headers on the sidebar yet, I would welcome your suggestions!
Don't like the spotlight - prefer the monkey.
Also the 'humour' has gone from the title which was important. Try the Yoputhblog title in same colour as side bars. Apart from that, like it.
Back to black is definitely better. The blues are not the same blue which isn't helping I don't think. If you're keeping the spotlights they have a certain purplish haze and he oxford diocese has the whole purple thing so purple could go for the side bar titles. Chimp could be bigger it's true.
