Time for a New Blog Header!

Over the course of my blog's 12+ years' existence, 
I've only had two blog headers. 

This was the first:


This was the second:


And now, I've got a new third one!


Isn't it great? Squeeeeeee!

This was designed for me by 
Linda of Life and Linda 
who offers blog design and services 

Highly recommended!

Thanks, Linda!

That header speaks to me! I love the botanicals and honeycomb. Linda did a great job. -Jenn

Laura J said...

Very nice!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Lovely!
I have never really thought about it. Blogger should update its blog templates, BTW. I think I've not changed mine because the formats are so... dated?
Your new header is fantastic!

XOXO

Rosemary said...

Very pretty Debra.

Bob said...

Beautiful!! It reminds me that Spring is coming and that's a good thing.

Martha said...

I love it!!

LL Cool Joe said...

Looks great! I think I need to redesign mine too. Although I wear bling I feel people visiting my blog must think I'm about 18. Lol.

baili said...

i absolutely loved this new header dear Debra

Linda is amazingly talented as i just visited and saw her beautiful work which is gorgeous
changing header is great idea indeed :)

Frank said...

It's always nice to refresh. And you always have such a great layout and presentation. I am finding the "new" blogger so difficult to work with. I sometimes spend a couple of hours on what should take twenty minutes. Google Chrome is the only friendly interface. What is your secret?

Lady M said...

Looks great!

Hello Debra, Linda must think you live on top of a uranium mine, if that's the way gardens near you look! Seriously, the design is quite lovely, perfect for spring, especially when we are a little color starved, and I like the way it ties into the old one by repeating the honeycomb pattern and of course the bees.

Linda, it is perfect!

@ Frank -- I'm no fan of New Blogger either but through much practice I have figured out the basics of what I need to do to make it work for me. You're right though -- everything takes twice as long to do as it used to. I also use Google Chrome when accessing my blog. I also have an Apple computer. I don't know if that helps using New Blogger or not, but I find it relatively easy to upload photos, memes and gifs through the iPhoto function.

Well, since no one else has said it ... I will: The new header is beautiful and totally the "bees knees!" LOL

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Marcia LaRue -- Ha ha, "the bees knees" LOVE IT!

Suz said...

Well, you know I love it! So fresh with fruit, flowers and of course BEES! It's damn near delightful.

Nice lemons!

Joanne Noragon said...

It's a good one. Love that the lemons are half peeled. Wonder why the oranges aren't.

Susan said...

It's gorgeous! So unique!

Kirk said...

Like the new header. Maybe you've said this before and I missed it, but are a beekeeper in your spare time?

I've changed the design on my blog several times over the years. The only real problem is when you change it, it gets changed to the very beginning, as if that's the design you've had all along. You don't get to see how a blog has evolved over time. For instance, my blog didn't have pictures or videos in the first couple of years (because I had no idea on how to add them), it was pure prose, and so I used kind of a beige parchment look, as if it was a page from a 1910s magazine. When I finally figured out how to add pictures and videos, I realized they kind of clashed with the design, and so went with something else. I eventually included a picture in the heading, and a bunch of little pictures in the sidebar. Except now if you go back to those first couple of years, it must seem strange that I would have photos in the sidebar and in the heading, but none in the post itself, which remains pure prose. Nobody's ever noticed this but me. Still, I find it kind of irksome. I'd rather the design change from the date I choose the new design and not beforehand.

Why the bees? Bee is one of my spirit animals.

Bee-u-ti-ful!

@ Kirk and @ peppylady (Dora) -- No, I'm not a beekeeper in my spare time, LOL! The reasons for my bee theme are explained in this post:

Guillaume said...

Looks nice. I don't have a bloggerhead, maybe I should make one.

Nothing like a new frock to brighten up the day

G. B. Miller said...

Nice. Kind of like a mixture of a spring/summer motif. Hearkens back to the days where things were so much simpler to enjoy.

and Spring - a great time of year for renewal.
