Easier on the eyes?
I hope you'll find my new layout easier to read and gentler on the eyes. Thanks to the new template editor from Blogger In Draft, I was able to do this in double quick time.It took around 8 hours from start to finish, including backing things up and creating a temporary blog to practice on before finally going for it.
I'd originally used a classic template, heavily modified to achieve the look I was after but it was getting too cumbersome to maintain. With the promise of all sorts of new treats on the way, I bit the bullet and went for it.
If you're thinking of changing over to the new template editor, I'd highly recommend it. You get quite a few templates, each with many variations that are a cinch to play around with.
The only hiccough I've had is that I can't get the "Reactions" thingy to work (the one that is supposed to appear at the end of each post). I'm sure that will only be temporary though - it is, after all, in Blogger In Draft. [Update: As you can see, it now works ok]
So, what do you think?
comments / feedback always welcome :)

WOW! I really love your new template!:)
Yeah.. thumbs up from here, Mark. Definitely easier to read than the pure white on black and the dark gray complements both color and B&W images nicely.
@Betty: Thank you, you can always be relied on to be supportive! You are a treasure!!
@Mark: I think it was you that gave me the feedback before that the white on black was a bit harsh? So thanks for adding to the impetus for me to change it :)
Awww, thanks Nivi! I'm blushing with false modesty, hehe!
Super layout. I have checked out the new templates. they are great..will update when I make some time. LOL.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers
Hey Dors, I'll keep my eye out. I wonder which one you'll go for?
It is a very nice layout and the gray works very well! On your main web page the ads on the left are not displaying properly in IE8. I find them distracting/detracting any of your pages most of them are for photographers - most of your audience are the same -;0)
Cheers!
Thanks for that feedback, John - Your point about the ads is well made and I'll take it into consideration.
