New look!

I am still making changes to my blog, but have finished what I think is the major work.
I actually followed a tutorial and converted my blog to three columns all by myself. I feel like this is a major accomplishment! Then my well-known blogging friend, Jess, who happens to be a talented, insightful and detailed graphic designer offered to redesign my header and logo to better suit me. (I really never work with purple but am always taken with red. And turquoise.) I am so happy with my new color scheme! Jess, you're awesome! (She's a freelancer, too, if you're wondering.)
Now, as I'm writing, colors are appearing that I thought I changed, so this post is kind of a test.
Here goes!
