I was thinking of slightly less depressing colours [without going luminous] and a slightly revised layout. Another big problem is that I would like the width to be fluid rather than fixed, as it is at the moment. That in itself isn't too big a problem, but the banner image is. I will have to come up with a design that will stretch with the site. Maybe the words will improve too? Thanks for the vote, Marlys, but I think you are outnumbered! :)

"Glitzy" may be in (especially here in the U.S.A.), but it's the words that count! Seniorwriter of "Never too Late!" and "Write your Life!"

Head Rambles is here to stay, if for nothing else than to prove that insanity rules. I was contemplating whether to move away from Wordpress, or to redesign the existing site. I think there seems to be a general consensus that the site could do with a facelift. In the absence of Ron though, I am stuck. So a redesign is on the cards, but you will all have to wait! I look forward to getting rid of those two on the top though...... Actually, I had no intention of killing off blogging.

Perhaps you could get a job with him after the ownership transfer ghost writing the blog so the work wouldnt suffer. By the way I am with the rest I dont want you to quit writing I just assumed you would start a new and improved blog where I could post my nonsensical verbiage Well Grandad not that you are all that good a writer but I imagine if the person who purchased your blog was a better writer he would have no need to buy some one elses work therefor it is highly unlikely that the purchaser would be much of a writer.

Simple fact is that I personally have never been happier since I twisted the knife on my blogs. I have a new lease on life. My circumstances are about fifty years different to yours though, so do what you think is right. That's what I did. The other people here wouldn't let you kill it, but at the end of the day, are you going to let the <i>readers</i> boss you about?? Happy choice-making.

Just have a facelift. And don't kill it, just start a new one. I like to go back occasionally and look at the older posts. Daz killed his and I miss the Angry Dome. It was a chronicle of his uni year - now vapourised. Such a shame. Don’t you dare go off the air. Just have a facelift. And don’t kill it, just start a new one.
