The eagle-eyed among you (or at least those who visit the site and don’t just pick up the feed), would probably have noticed a small cosmetic change to the header of RobAroundBooks. To be honest I was getting a little bit tired at how blank the top of the site looked, so I changed the header graphic slightly to make it a bit more interesting.
The thing is I’m still not 100% happy with it and I think it needs something else. So if you see me tweaking around with the header again over the next few days then just ignore me – it’s a mid-life crisis thing

Thoughts, comments and opinions are of course always welcome.

Site tweaking is half the fun of blogging!
Looks good to me
I like it so far. The colors are a bit 1970′s but I like it. Yours is one of the better designed book sites out there. If you’re still interested in making a button for Short Story Sunday I could sure use one. I don’t know when I’ll get to it myself. My students are turning in their term papers as I type this….

@Bart – I agree site tweaking is half the fun of blogging, but not when it’s eating up one’s valuable reading time. Thanks for reassuring words.
@CBJames – Firstly, you’re being ever so kind, but ‘better designed’ can be so subjective
). I get the retro 70s feel too, that’s what I’m aiming for, with a contemporary slant

As for the Short Story Sunday button – I clean forgot I offered. Now you’ve made me blush I’ll drop over an email so we can work out the kind of thing you’re looking for. Good luck marking those papers..ouch!
EDIT: CB – 204mountain at comcast dot com coming back as undeliverable address?!?
You’re too hard on yourself … I think it looks fantastic! I am still using a lame blogger template because I have a fear of design.
I like it. The text makes the viewer look a little more closely at the header, which is a nice tribute to some great authors.

@Kristen – You’re kind, very kind, although ‘fantastic’ may be stretching it a bit too far

@Memory – Thank you for your kind opinion also. Although it’s beginning to look like a big ego stoking exercise from me
