My Journey

A New Design
Saturday, Mar. 29, 2003 @ 2:59 p.m.

I changed the look of my diary today. I wanted it to look a little more personalized. The picture is part of a painting of some irises that I did in college. I was trying to imitate the style of Van Gogh. I like it because it has yellow in it, which is my favorite color. I'm still working on the font and colors, so that may be changing for a while until I get just the right colors.

Can anyone tell me how to move or change the shape of the diaryring logo so it doesn't cover up my iris when I have a short entry?

Now it's time to do some housework. I've procrastinated too much today; I spent way too much time on the computer!
