They made consessions for me in that respect – I did not fax it, just filled in paperwork online and saved as a pdf? And then emailed it? (I can’t remember). All I remember is that we got around it somehow. They will get back to you shortly, I’m sure. Hang in there!

Misc mum – I have another question about blogher. How did you send them your application? Did you fax it? If so, what number did you use? I’m having trouble and also having trouble getting an answer to my enquiry about it (unusual as my last 2 enquiries have been answered very quickly). Thanks.

Holy Guacamole! Meg! Everyone! I just made up some code to centre my buttons there on the side and – *staggered* it worked first time.

Adam was bragging he made some indepth algorethmic code work last night, but this is EVEN better, lol.

I’d much rather you did come to me, really – I’d hate to think that you’re unhappy with your design.

If you hit the little envelope next to my name when you replied to me/my comment, I did not receive the notification, just so’s ya know.

Dang, late to the party!

I signed in with a different email addy, I don’t know if that will identify me as “new”.

Just a couple of things. I’m prone to agree with Kelley on the RSS button, I know we spoke about that way back, but Alister probably does attract the more experienced blogger…

With regards to the graphics, I agree that trying to make them a uniform size could well make them go wonky. You could perhaps try centering them?

No sure about the avatars – haven’t used that in a while.

Lightening – Blogher ads are great. They’re such accessible, friendly ladies (unlike *cough* some others I could mention!) and they’re the only one who’ve paid up for me as yet to tell the truth. Yes, they do ask for the most prominent positioning in columns, but they have so many different kinds of sizes to choose from, it’s pretty easy. Finish the application!

I think your blog looks wonderful! I love the colours you’ve chosen. Nice and soothing.

I went looking for the feed buttons after reading what Kelley had to say and it took me some time to find them. I tend to add blogs direct to my bloglines so I never actually went looking when I first subscribed. But if you look at my site you’d see I’m a fan of BIG subscribe buttons. LOL. Well, Snoskred is anyway as she made me the beautiful pink button!!!

I didn’t think your sidebar was too cluttered. I do have a question for you though. Are you happy with blogher ads? I’m half way through the application process with them and would be interested to know from a bloggers perspective. Are they worthwhile having? Are they good to deal with? (I’ve had to contact them directly a couple of times and from that angle I’ve found them good). Also, do you have them in the first sidebar by choice or do they require that? My layout is similar to yours in terms of where my sidebars are.

I’m a fan of small (but not ridiculously small) font. Most people have a scrolly mouse these days – they can just scroll and make it bigger if need be.

As for the sidebars, I like simple sidebars. Yours is more complex, but I wouldn’t call it “cluttered” – it’s just fuller than most because it’s not just one column. Then again, I don’t really look much at sidebars because most of them are just ads and I don’t do ads!

Isn’t that a pain, trying to get the ole’ blog to look just right?

And if you’re a fan of all things trebuchet, there’s a clip on YouTube where a millionaire built one, just ’cause he can. And he tests it on such sundry items as cars and upright pianos. Good times…
