The red trombone player is still my “gravatar” icon, so you’ll see him whenever I post a comment. And, of course, I’m never really done with a design, so there’s always a chance he’ll be back…

Hey Elsh, I like the new look…but I’ll miss the trumpet though.

Nice! I’ve been debating whether or not to self host, but I’m worried I would end up tweaking forever – I do that enough as it is. Good luck.

Thanks, Andrew. The font for "sufficient" is called Constantia. I think it ships with MS Vista, though I probably picked it up when I installed a backwards compatibility pack for MS Office.

Nicely done. What font is ‘sufficient’ in?

Thanks, TC – I went at this one a bit backwards… the header was actually the last thing to put together. I’ve still got a few other ideas I’m going to play with.

I’m loving the header.

Yeah… I haven’t even looked at the RefTagger stuff yet. I thought I was miles ahead when I finally figured out that Google Reader could pass through an unstyled blogroll list instead of their goofy color schemes.

I just finished doing CSS for the RefTagger on my blog and they don’t make it easy. All so that when people hover over Scripture the box will be in colors that are similar to the blog. Sometimes I wonder…

This is why I put my second blog on WordPress–so I wouldn’t spend time tweaking it.

I like what you’ve done though and am looking forward to the new Better Bibles Blog.

@David – thanks, you’re up next!

@Robert – I share your frustration! That was a big reason I moved to my own hosting platform – obviously I like geeking the code!
