We’ve gone ‘Ocean Blue’

4 November 2007 by kristarella

Copyblogger Ocean Blue theme

I finally had a chance to change from the pink theme I had for October. For this month/season/period I’m going with what I’ve called Ocean Blue.

It’s not that I hate pink, far from it. I just thought that I should keep pink set apart for October so that the change is obvious and the cause (Breast Cancer Awareness) is communicated. I recognise there are some people who don’t like pink – one visitor described it as “shocking”. ๐Ÿ˜›

Following Skellie’s advice I’ve added a popular posts section to the sidebar. It’s actually labelled “Recommended Reading”, because essentially it’s what I’m recommending to you – things I think are useful or that I’ve received comments about (online and offline). If there are posts you think should be there please let me know!

I’ve expanded the categories again. Too long or are they helpful in visualising the topics I write about?

    I love this colour scheme too! It looks very Christmassy ๐Ÿ™‚

    And I also love how you listed your recommended reading in images, instead of the normal text lists ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks! I’m liking it too. ๐Ÿ˜€ Every time I load my site my brain does a little “Ooh”, I got so used to red and pink!

    I suspect it’ll get even more Christmassy when the season is closer. ๐Ÿ˜›

    The images idea is pretty much copied from Skellie; I generally don’t like copying, but upon her recommendation and a couple of other people I thought it wasn’t so bad. I do like the image list, it draws more attention than text.
