I think I may have actually designed a header that I like – maybe even love. I actually did it by accident and was halfway through a swear word when I said, “Wait a minute – this is awesome!!” A couple of tweaks later and it really was. At least I think so – knock on wood right? All because I just kinda felt the old layout was a bit “blah”.
Now I know there will be no generic wordpress theme that I love every little thing about – but my one small complaint with this one is so trivial that it’s not even really worth mentioning (but you know I’m going to – the block quotes are ugly – sorry, it’s true). But the header – it’s fricking awesome, and dude, I made it myself and I’m not even ashamed of that – that heart over there? I drew that man – like with my mouse. And thanks to Gimp’s Cartoonify (on purpose) and Weave (awesome accident) filters, it actually looks amazing and not like a kindergartener drew it.
Anyway, that’s all I really have to say. I am no longer whimpering and whining and begging for a paid layout – I’m good. And with that said, I think I’ll go read a book.

Your header looks great!
The limited design abilities was one thing that drove me nuts when I was on wordpress.com. I paid for the little upgrade and changed my backgrounds and header but I really needed something completely my own. So I switched to wordpress self hosted and it has been THE best!
