Day 152: Finally...Success In Changing My Header Graphic!

G'day,

I don't usually make any posts regarding the look of my blog, but I am overcome with joy right now! After 152 days I have finally cracked the code of how to change my header graphic (you can see it above).

I had to get under the hood and play around with HTML and CSS code to make it happen which wasn't easy to tell you the truth. I have zero training in web design, HTML or CSS, hence the 152 day wait!

The reason I wanted that new header graphic is because I realized a long time ago my sidebar was getting increasingly cluttered with image links. This was a stop-gap measure as it was the only way I could make this blog easy to navigate.

It gets quite tricky to balance user-friendliness when you have close to 152 day's worth of consecutive entries, videos and pictures contained inside the blog. Putting my logo, Mission 1 & 2 pics in the header is designed to free up space in the sidebar.

There is so much I want to tell anyone who visits my blog for the first time but I also don't want to overwhelm them with 500 different links! I will continue to tweak the layout to make it as user-friendly as possible.

Anyway, what do you think?

Peace,
AJ

P.S. I am very close to finishing my Mission 3 design. This includes nutrition, training, cardio, goals and accountability structure. As soon as it is complete I will post it here.
