New Look

OK, the majority of my tampering is done & from now it will just be minor tweaking.

For those who have followed since the creation of my new blog, I have made some dramatic changes to the original template.

The background image for the posts is Suite No. 3 - Prelude from The Solo Cello Suites by Bach arranged for Viola. I would have liked to have put Prelude from Suite No. 1 simply as it is a much more recognisable piece, however my teacher wrote all over that one, so I picked the Prelude from Suite No. 3.

The Violin to the left is the one that came with the blog template, however I got quite creative with it in Photoshop & it doesn't look much like the original. I hope to replace this image with that of my own viola soon.

The viola & bow in the header is my own, as is the bow that seperates the posts, obviously modified - thanks to Photoshop.

It has been a bit of a process, because I have had to learn a bit of xhtml to modify the template to do what I wanted it to do. I learnt all I know from self-help sites on the web :-)

Please leave your comments about my new layout and be truthful. I don't want to keep it if no-one wants to read it !! I am particularly interested in whether it reads OK on smaller screens (mine is 1680 wide) as I know this was a problem from time to time with other layouts I have tried.
