Winner and Blog Design Update


It's time to announce the winner of The All Male Review Giveaway! And the winner is:


Brian B.

Congrats Brian! You have been emailed and have 48 hours to respond with your address and choice of book.

In other news, I made some slight updates to my blog design - nothing major, just changed the layout and colours and added a background to my banner. I am always eager to get feedback from people though, about what works and what doesn't in blog designs, and if there is any way that I can improve mine (taking into account my limited design skills). I would love to hear any thoughts you have in the comments, thanks!

  1. I love it. :) The little changes make a big difference! I loved it before, too, but the little colors and background make it look even better. :)

    1. Thanks Bailey! I thought that, as well - even though the design of the banner isn't much different, the added background really improved it, I felt. So glad to hear you agree!

  2. When I opened the page I was, like, "Oh! New Banner!"
    It looks awesome.

    And Congrats to Brian.

  3. I love the addition of a background to the banner, Aylee. It adds more pop and gives it a more HP-like feel.

  4. WOW Aylee! 888 entries. That's amazing. Thank you so much for doing the hop. You are such a great friend.

    LOVE the new look. The colors give the blog a refreshed look, and the header is perfect.

  5. I really love the new header. The fire makes me think of Gryffindor's common area, so it works. Too cute!

  7. Love the updated header! I'm glad you just added a nice background - I've always been a fan of your HP header, and it looks even more fantastic then it did before :D

    Congrats to Brian!

    1. Thanks - I knew I didn't want to change it completely, if only because that's what I'm known for.

  8. I totally agree about the background in the header - it makes a big difference for such a small change. It looks awesome!

    1. Thanks, Logan! I was surprised it made such a big change, but in retrospect it's not surprising at all. It really was just a boring white background before.
