I’ve wanted to blog…really I have…but every time I opened up my Livewriter all my creative thoughts just curled up and blew away in the wind. (OK, maybe there’s no wind, maybe I have a pile of dried up creative thoughts piled up like dust bunnies under my chair.) You see…it took me a while to realize it, but I really couldn’t stand my old template a moment longer. I know it seems silly, but the color was too dark, the background to wrinkled and what I once thought of as pretty flowers became cloyingly sweet. I felt…closed in.
Instead of blogging I found myself searching for a new templates. A template that would make me grin just to see it. After wasting precious time that I could have been playing Bejeweled, I came across Bob. I really didn’t think Bob and I were exactly a match made in heaven. As I explained to Bob that he didn’t really fit the theme of my blog. (Of course I have a theme…kinda) I told him that I didn’t even know any roosters in real life (although I once babysat some chickens for a friend, that was interesting!). Then we got down to what was really bothering me.
Bob is clearly a morning person being guy. He loves just sitting up there on his fence post, happily crowing as the sun wakes up. Me, I’d be quite content if I didn’t have to get up until the sun was fully awake and ready for lunch. Interestingly enough, Bob and I really hit it off despite our differences. He makes me smile. I…um…I make him crow. (although I think he secretly laughs at me.) We may not be together forever, but for now…we’ll be the best of pals.
I wonder if I could get Bob to bring me my morning coffee…
Bob sure is bright and beautiful. Good choice!
It was fun reading this in Google Reader, not knowing what the template might actually be. I couldn’t wait to click. Good luck with your new Rooster Museter. 
Very cool template. And Bob seems like a friendly fella. Just as long as he doesn’t make too much noise in the morning. I don’t mind morning people as long as they’re not all happy and chatty every morning. That’s annoying.
How refreshing! I’d like a new template, too, but have no idea where to start. I can always live vicariously!
Cock-a-doodle-do!
The new template is perfect–bright and cheery.
I think this is the time of year when creativity flags a bit.
I love the new layout and am tempted to come to wordpress so I can have cute templates too.
I love LiveWriter. I hate how I have multiple posts in mind and they disappear when it opens. Think we can get Windows to do anything about that?
I like the new look. Bob and thr sunrise seem perfect for your blog theme. Thanks for the visit and the kind words.
How about a goat to go with the fowl?
I saw your old site from WordPress.com
this one is even better
I love the new template! I didn’t post for 3 weeks while I looked for templates then when I found one I lost my two followers – and I don’t have enough to spare! I’m sticking with my new template for a while (mostly cause it was a pain to finally get right) so if the mood strikes you, and you feel like meandering back over and re-adding yourself, I’d me much obliged! If not, no worries – my feathers won’t be ruffled
But really – love your cheery site!
Oh yay! nevermind my re-add request – I added the networked blog widget back and there you were!
I like Bob. I am too scared to even contemplate changes because I am way too easily distracted. If only wordpress could magically read my mind and hey-presto a pretty new template like yours.
