Template, header image and Font upgrades – what do you think?

Purple
Purple on the brain?

I have just purchased font upgrades for this blog (and for the blog Quoracy.com, which is my business-related blog – please have a look if you haven’t seen it yet).

Please let me know your thoughts. It is all about personalising it and making it that bit different from everyone else who uses the same basic “Mystique” template, of which there may be a few thousand blogs in existence. Once you have added your own background, photos and font then the ambience starts to get a bit more personalised, and that’s what you may have noticed over the last few weeks.

The image at the top of the page is one of about 30 (and rising) random images, mostly produced by me but also one or two third-party produced ones.

There is also the background, one that I used to use for about a year over on youtube with the Japanese writing in purple.

Please keep me informed with your reactions to the aesthetics of this site.

Comment: “I’m using this to teach my daughter the French she needs to catch up with kids who’ve been in the UK and therefore doing French at junior school. It is an excellent course to do with a child and the parent just controlling the pause button and allowing the child to simply follow the progress of the course. So far we have completed about a quarter of it, at an easy pace, and my daughter is understanding and retaining the material very well.

It isn’t a written course, but it provides all the language at an audio level, which is of course the way children initially learn their own languages and only learn how to write them later.”
