    I like the easy access drop down menu bar up top. A bit less color than before, but I guess that is a personal preference! :-) I also like blogs that have a line for filling in your email address where it won't be seen in the comment itself. elireeves at stny dot rr dot com

    I'm a new follower on GFC (Mickey Coutts). I love the blue color in the header. Maybe the image in the header could be a little bit bigger to get your attention? Just trying to think of something possibly helpful. It looks nice, though. :)
