couldn't help myself
So first, the template blew up over the weekend - disappeared briefly and then reappeared after I'd begun reconstructing it. (One wonders why that happens at odd moments and when one feels as if nothing at all challenging is going on. Maybe sun spots?) Anyway, by then I'd (a) seen a couple of sites with textured backgrounds and (b) decided to honor my fledgling weaving efforts by adding one here. I tried a harris tweed but it looked too neat-and-tidy and also too busy. I may try something else eventually such as the very fabric I'm weaving but the denim feels comfy now so it'll stay for a while. Update: the denim texture background made reading some text impossible and I don't feel like changing font colors and styles right now. So today a different, smoother fabric. What do you think?

I like the denim but I think you'll have to change the text colour to white or another pale colour. If you need to know how it looks in a non-Internet Explorer browser, let me know (I'm a Firefox gal!)

Ah - interesting point. My Firefox never installed right so I can't tell anything there. I'll work on this tonight or tomorrow and maybe ask you to let me know how it looks then. Thanks for the heads up.

Much better colour - and thanks for fixing the knitting amy's ring. Ring Surf is no longer bugging me about it! :)

In 1280 x 1024, Firefox is still cranky - I moved over to IE to see the differences. I like the background and colors and stuff, just have to remember to rad your blog in IE now =)

Sorry about that. I keep thinking I'll try Firefox but it opens badly for me and I can't seem to tweak things right in it. Apologies for the inconvenience. (I wonder how your blog looks in Firefox, by the way - is it as really really narrow as it looks to me? Probably not.) Thanks!
