Unlike my other blog, When I’m Thin, the appearance of this blog hasn’t changed too much.  The original theme was purple, lots of purple, and it pretty much stayed that way.   Purple is one of my favorite colors, but the theme never felt quite right.  I also thought the type was a little small and maybe it was hard to read.  It just didn’t feel like the look of the blog reflected the spirit of the blog.

Now those who know me, particularly the long suffering Steve from Vanseodesign, will tell you that I know just enough HTML to be dangerous.  I can generally make changes to my blogs, but we can’t always be sure that the changes I make will work out as I wanted them to work out.  Steve has rescued me from self created blog meltdowns before, so I’m always a bit hesitant about making changes.  I’m a writer, not a coder.  I generally like it best when I can write the words and leave the problem of making them look pretty to others.

Still Settling for More needed a change.  I needed a change.  So I went looking for a new theme, and found Scribble Scratch and a lovely selection of Wordpress themes.  There were several I liked, but this one just seemed to stand out.  I liked the colors.  I liked the bridge leading off into the distance.  It just felt warm and soothing and right.

So, the blog got a makeover.  While I have to admit I secretly hope that everyone who visits here stops by for the writing, I do know that appearance does make a difference.  I hope you like Settling for More’s new look as much as I do.
