I have been blogging almost one year, and have had the same theme for all that time.
It has suited me well.
But as we begin a fresh New Year I’d love a change.
So tonight I’m asking you all what do you think of this theme?
I think it’s a little bit too “pink” but I like the way it shows the previous posts.
This is certainly not a done deal and I may very well go back to my old theme, but I really would like to know what you think.
I don’t want you all agreeing it’s lovely etc (unless you really love it!), I’d love real feedback.
I’m gone goggly eyed going through the free themes available (note the “free”) and may test out another in a day or so.
So, what do you think?

My thoughts on a page. 
Yay I love what you are doing although I did like the old one too. This them I like… simple and nicely set out. Getting to know you a bit (as I feel I am) I don’t think the pink bits suit you. Can you just change the colour and keep the rest the same?
I wish I could but it’s one of those where you can’t change the colour. Maybe I’ll look again tomorrow now that I’ve an idea what I like but I’m looking forward to any more comments. You are so right I’m not a “pink”lady. Even my kids just kept saying “Pink!”
Awfully frilly if you ask me. Dunno, just love the old one. Seems to fit you. My 2 cents.
Thanks. I’ll pay you your 2 cents later!
If you are happy with it…then its good. 🙂 I think we all seek something that shows our personality.
Thanks. Your right. I like everything about this except the pink. That is definitely not my personality.
I like it and it’s good to change. Besides it should refect your taste, not mine~
Yes I think it’s time for a change. Thank you. I’m just not sure this is my taste.
I like this theme and it’s not too ‘pink’ at all. The only thing in the world for sure is change. Change is good. Just don’t ever switch to a black screen…. I have issues with black being difficult to read. 😀
Definitely no black here! I do really like this but pink and girly!
I like it a lot. My first thought was, “Oh, how pretty!”. It’s very calming and easy on the eyes. It also fits your blog tagline perfectly.
Thank you. That sounds very positive. The only thing is it is very far removed from my personality!
For what it is worth, I like it. Blog themes are kinda like rearranging the furniture for me. Change it up and it feels clean and new. And you can always change it back if you want! 🙂
Thanks Deb. Maybe I’ll leave it a few days and the pink might disappear!
i like the look of it, and i liked your old one as well, but. i think it’s good to change things up a bit from time to time, to keep them fresh, and to reflect our own change and growth. i’m all for it, if you are happy with it too. )
Thanks Beth I’m gunning for a change but it is very girly. I’m just not sure. Maybe I’ll go back to the start and now I know what I like I’ll see if there’s anything less pink
you’ll feel it when you land on the right thing )
I like the layout too but again, the pink hmmm
Ha Ha. Yes Pink!!!!!
I like the elegant cursive writing, very nice. Bit too pink for me but I’m a guy who will not even wear a pink shirt and secretly laugh at men who do. 😀
Oh dear J.D. this is a girl who like Doc martins. Pink is a real challenge!
I like it, although I too am not a pink person. I have had the same theme too since I started in 2011. I considered changing it once, but I like the colors and the artistic look to my page and decided to keep it. I really like the layout on this one though.
I really do like your blog theme I think it suits your blog. The jury is still out on this theme but maybe in a day or two.
I like it much better over the previous one. I like the layout – much easier to read somehow. The pink doesn’t bother me, but if you don’t like it, that does matter. Can you just change the font color? On mine I could make changes to the colors, size and even title fonts…
I’ve changed again, hard to keep up with me. Hope you like it.
I do!
It’s funny how destabilizing it is to see a page change all of a sudden, but I’ll get over it 🙂 Good clean layout, but I’m not a huge fan of the Frilly pink writing.
OMG I began to really hate that pink and the little hearts but I couldn’t find another I like. It took forever but I like the one I have now even though I did have a little hiccough with a purple sparkly background!
Its very elegant. Not sure about pink or hearts. I think pink can may go against the grain a little. Yours blog deals with serious issues and is so honest. Pink is probably a little frivolous.. sorry.. but I’ll be always be honest when you ask. :o)
Olivia you were spot on. I hope you like the new one. I think it’s a good change, but I value your opinion.
The new theme is looking good. It suits you much better. :o)
The choice is purely yours, Tric. Your blog, your rules. IMO you seem like a sage green color…Wise and honest.
Thanks a million. To be honest that pink was not me, or my blog. I couldn’t find a green I liked but I did like this one. Hope you do, but feel free to give me your honest opinion
I like it. But, then again I find there are so many nice blog templates I’d probably like others that you chose. I’m keen to change mine as well but can’t decide what to change to, hence I haven’t changed it. I love your idea of asking your visitors.
It took forever to find a theme I liked. In the end that pink and those hearts really didn’t do it for me. I hope you like what I did decide.
I think it’s important to get reader feedback as we can be a bit blind and they know what they like.
I like the layout of the new theme – but . . .
the pink script I could get used to and not notice in time, however, the little pink heart shapes surrounding the comment total figure at the head of each post ?
this seems at odds with those posts where you cover some serious subjects
Ha ha. Duncan you were spot on, it was so not me or my blog. What do you think of the new one? It’s this or my original as I’m not looking at any more.
It looks great! Easy to read and very clean-looking. 🙂
Interesting……I don’t even see any pink! …..only beige! What’s the matter with me?
You snooze you lose Tia. All traces of the mad pink theme are gone.
Lol! So there was no pink for me to see at this point? Whew! That makes me feel somewhat saner! 😉
