I totally get it with the Cafe look tho. I never liked the red.<br /><br />You know when I find I do this is when I am looking at children's books. If they have too many pictures and are too busy, I throw them back down. If the pictures are simple and soothing, I keep them.<br /><br />Hmmmmm.<br /><br />I hope my new blog look is soothing...

You know when I find I do this is when I am looking at children's books. If they have too many pictures and are too busy, I throw them back down. If the pictures are simple and soothing, I keep them.

Hmmmmm.

I hope my new blog look is soothing…

The simpler and softer, the better. Plus the busier and more animated blogs tend to lock up my older laptop, so I tend not to return to those blogs. <br /><br />BTW, I love your new look :-)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Tammy ~@~ Ohhhh, I so agree and am delighted to see that your research proves it!

I chose the template for my blog because it not only reflected the style I like but had the word JOY. I felt that readers that would look at my blog could get a glimpse of me by seeing the template. So what do you think? Would you pop over to my blog and give me your thoughts? Is it too distracting when you're trying to read? Here's the link to my blog:<br /><br />http://truthngraceministries.blogspot.com<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Karen Yes – I am a bright colors kind of gal.

I guess it just depends on the goal of that person's blog. If it is to energize and motivate, then the brighter more vibrant palettes might work better. But if it is to contemplate or appreciate, I think the simpler the better. I am also drawn to calm and soothing blogs. I guess it just depends on the goal of that person's blog.
