Hi there everyone. I missed yesterdays post because of work/scheduled events. I blog about a lot of things to pick just one niche. So I'm hoping I can get some advice in this group. I have been going back n forth in my own mind about changing my color scheme to a more professional one. The image I have on my header was made by my son, so that's part of the reason I keep it. My blogging tribe has told me to leave it alone lol (basically) and for now I plan to just leave it. But I would like to know what someone else thinks about the layout/colors. I blog at dailydiylife.com I started blogging on blogger in may of this year and switched to self hosted WP at the end of august. I am fully enjoying it, but always second guess myself when it comes to my blog. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give! Heather dailydiylife@gmail.com

Hi Heather! Personally, I really like your color scheme - and that is so cool that your son created the image on your header! If I changed anything, it might be the background of grey on the sides to complement your color scheme a little more. I lived in Buckhannon and Charleston for a total of 5 years - how fun to read a blog of a WV blogger!

Thank you Susan, it use to be lime green but I was afraid that was hard on the eyes (again second guessing). I've only been in WV for just over a year now. But I like it. Its different lol and a little boring but it works for us. That's neat you lived there .. It's beautiful up this way. Thanks for taking the time to look over things for me! Much appreciated.

I love that your son made the image...I would definitely keep it! I agree with Susan and would recommend changing the background color. Also, is there a way to make your About Me picture a little bigger so readers really have a chance to see who is behind the great blog?

I was coming to tell you that "there's no way it's too colorful!" because I LOVE colors! However, I just looked at your site and I must say the green and the blue really clash. It hurts my eyes that the green is so bright.
Perhaps your son could help you craft a different header, if you're going for a more professional look.
On a somewhat unrelated note, unless the ads in your sidebar are making you a ton of money, I'd get rid of them and put more valuable things in their place. Your sidebar is your most valuable real estate!
