Time for a Facelift?

I’ve been thinking for a while that this site needs a facelift. The current theme is pretty nice, but I am thinking a simpler design might be better. What do you think? If you have an opinion, or a suggestion, let me know.

  1. Simpler just isn’t you. Say what you want but we all know you’re gonna go for more complicated.

  2. I can dig simple. But I also enjoy learning how to do things and giving them my own unique touch. Maybe I just like to challenge myself. Just because you can’t handle anything harder than clicking an “OK” button, doesn’t mean I make things too complicated!

  3.

Many people who read the original Google Blog post saw the link to my blog and clicked on it. I guess many of them were probably disappointed to find that half of the articles I write here are about how I’m “too busy to write anything interesting!” Anyway, I wonder if I would be doing my audience a disservice by mixing too many themes on one site. So, as I wrote in an earlier post, I am in the process of updating the look of this site. I also want to go into more depth about my experience of culture shock, homesickness, as well as what it really feels like to live in a foreign country for an extended period of time…And I want to post more pictures!
