After I looked over my blog I overhauled it into white and black (Beh) but readable. I am currently wondering about what name I want my handle to be when I start writing.

I’ve been bothered by the font/colors on my own blog for awhile — in fact, when I came to other, similar looking blogs, I would stop reading. You would think that would have been often for me to change up my own place pronto…nah…took awhile. I’m still tweaking, but my new look is definitely easier on the eyes.

Thanks for the great tips~
