Template Switch 1 and 2

I chose my current template because I wanted to use a similar template as my Personal Blog. When creating that I wanted something simple with more neutral and natural colors because I thought it reflected the types of recipes I would include throughout the blog such as home style cooking and making things from fresh and natural ingredients. I am not sure that the current template really suits the subject matter, possibly too plain and dull.


I enjoy the mix of festivity with the soothing red colors and round blurs of light behind it. I really do like this one and it's going to make me pretty sad to change it again (although I might return to it after this experiment is over with). I think the mixing of reds, creams and grays are more attention getting than the last template I chose. This template seems to suit my subject matter better, complimenting the exploratory nature of it.



For the second template switch of the evening, I chose a brightly colored theme made up of filled bookshelves. I think this one is appealing to the eye and fun but overall maybe too focused on books which goes against the posts that I have that are not focused on books and literature. Although on second though I realize that I've written about a few authors and shared my love of libraries numerous times. I think what bothers me the most about it is how it draws the eye because generally I'm a no frills kind of person.
