The Why About This
%d bloggers like this:
I like both styles. The other one had a cozyness to it, the dark colours felt to me like meeting somewhere in a cottage and talking. This one has a brightness to it. The light colours feel to me like meeting in a spaceous, sunny place somewhere out in the open. – Feels like growth, doesn’t it?! 😀
Much love!
Hi Stefanie, it is great to “see” you here! Yes you have it exactly right my friend, that’s exactly how I felt/feel also! You nailed my own feelings precisely! 🙂 xx
It seems to be a time of growth, currently, Penny! Great to see how you are in the flow and blossoming! 😀
Thank you Stefanie, I do stay busy both online and in the real world so there are those challenging days for certain. How goes it with you Stef?
Yes, I am familiar with that kind of business… 😉
Love it… it’s like a hairstyle… one needs to try others now and then… being almost bald it does not apply to me…
ha,ha! Thank you Bulldog. I am still working with the font et al, a little frustrated with aspects of it but overall still happy with the change!
Hi Penny, Dare I say, against the trend, that I prefer the other one – so sorry! It doesn’t matter a bit though as I will visit whatever style you have. (I am actually using your previous theme on a site I’m creating for a new project!) Have a lovely weekend Penny, hope you don’t mind me saying my preference – I know you won’t mind 🙂 🙂 xx
No problem Ruth. The last one was very comfortable and professional looking, too true! Reminded me of a portfolio case I still have. But I decided to go for a more open view with this style, and I’m glad you will continue to follow me, lol! Have an excellent weekend, my friend! 🙂 xx
I like it Penny! Very nice. 🙂
Kenley
Oh too weird Kenley I just twittered about your biscuits and gravy at the same time you commented on my blog, aren’t connections wonderful! Great minds and all that my friend!!!! 🙂
Ha! That’s so fun and weird! Thanks so much for tweeting about my biscuits and gravy! 😀
Kenley
It is lighter and brighter. It is fresh 🙂
i like this Penny. it’s much more brighter 🙂
Nice fresh look. Love it!
This is also nice. I like your smile 🙂
I do – I do – I do!!!! 😉

AnElephantCant really argue
This new look he really adores
But he has to confess
He is sure you can guess
He can’t remember what it looked like before
AnElephant never forgets?
Hooey!
Love it, so nice , simple, clean and fresh! Easy to read on white!
Great change!
Hey Penny! 🙂 I love it as the darker colours I always struggle to see. God damned age. Lol Have a great day. Paula xxx
Looks Good 🙂
Thank you, very much. As the day has progressed today, I’ve started getting used to it myself too! 🙂
Here’s for you a few verses. I like share it for You
stefan
For my eternal love
My nights yearning for you
I’m not ashamed to say it or admit it.
You’re in my veins
I love you truly from my heart!
And that will Never change.
Stefan your poem of love is beautiful. And like your many other followers, I also look forward to your Anthology of Love Poems that will be published soon. Thank you from my heart, Penny xo
I think this is much better , but the content is the most important , and the importance he is super , my score your blog is +5 * I normally do not like dark colors Always in life to look like in the world, and this is now the outlines of the story , caught one day a man crying in the middle of the street , and asked him why he was crying , he said , Well, the sun ! Is not nice when the sun is supeR me , so why do you cry , because after the rain comes the sun
Hello Stefan. Thank you, a lovely story. What a wonderful way to look at tears (like the rain) to bring out the beautiful sun. Thank you again my dearest friend. I’m glad you like the new “look”. It is brighter isn’t it? Much love to you, Penny xx
You have done an amazing blog … thanks for following so I could see your update!!!
Hi Annie, thank you for dropping by, you’re welcome. Thank you also for your lovely compliment! 🙂
Very nice new home Penny ~ Lovely decor you have chosen 🙂 ~ Yay !
xo RL
Thanks, dearest friend of mine. It was time. But difficult to choose. I know you understand what I mean here. It still needed to reflect my personality. I thank you for your approval and lovely comment about my decor! 🙂 xo
Oh – a WP facelift!
😆 😆 😆 😆
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Yes, facelift indeed. It seemed it was time, somehow. Not that anything was sagging or anything lol, but I do like the nice, clean, crispness of this layout! Thanks RoSy! 🙂 xo
Definitely looks good!
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Thank you neighbor and pal of mine. Means much to me! 🙂 xo
As long as you continue to post the same great inspirational stuff, Penny, I’m fine with it. 🙂
Thank you Alejandro, your words mean a great deal to me. I’ll do my best! 🙂
Love love love this new look! 😉 hugggs xxxx
HI Roxi. I’m so glad you like it. Talk about difficult in deciding! Thank you so much dear friend! 🙂 hugs received and returned in full xxxx
It’s great Penny! Very light and summery! I like to change my blog look seasonally.
Debra
Thank You Debra! My first time, so it was more difficult than I had anticipated, choosing my “new look” seemed to take forever. Changing seasonally is a great idea for a theme. Clever too!
Looks Clean & Crisp….I liked the other look as well. I like both. 😉
Hello my friend. I liked the other one too, so it was difficult to change, just felt it might be a good time to do so Jueseppi, you know one of those “seemed like a good idea at the time” moments, lol! Glad you like this one also! Thank you very much! 🙂 xx
Yes they both are good themes. I think they both are you.
Thank you for your adding that, Jueseppi, it is important to me, my friend! xx
U R up late, no?
Yes just a little (you are too, aren’t you?)
I’m a night owl, and love being up from 2 am till around 6 am, best time of the day.
I used to live in the city (downtown on a main street in a studio loft), I loved the nights then too. The sounds were magical.
I love the night for it’s quiet and peaceful aura. I especially love the night time rain, so soothing.
Always good to see you, no matter what time of early morn.
I wake, quite early, in the morning, (do much of my writing then) so I’m definitely off to bed now, thank you for the conversation Jueseppi, always a pleasure sir! xx
Sweet sleep & peaceful dreams Ms. Penny.
Wow! Great new look. Simple. Smart. And Penny, you are brave. 🙂
Look forward to more from your thoughtful, insightful pen.
Thanks mj, I know it sounds silly but at the moment I decided to do this, I did feel as if I were doing a brave thing. I was very comfortable with the other style, but I do like this font (very readable) and the clean crispness of it. Thank you again, I’ll do my best to not disappoint with my written words, my dear and special friend! 🙂
This is nice! You’re brave …. I thought about changing, but I’m a wimp.
You have no idea how many times I started to make the change and then as you said “wimped out” myself, just couldn’t do it. Not sure what the motivation was that made me go check out the choices and then actually do it. A spur of the moment thing. Was very nervous during the process too! Thank you, it just may happen that way to you, too! 🙂
i LIKE IT …..
sleek …………:)
Thanks Cat, most appreciative. Funny isn’t it, almost intense (to change something as seeming simple as a format) and worry about how it will “take”! So glad you like! 🙂 xoxo
i loved the copper too – but this is a clean – minimalist feel kind of …. You know ? xxxx
🙂 🙂 🙂 Of course i “like ”
I like all that you write about xxx
It’s like your a kid at Heart xo C
Yes I agree about the minimalist feel, and I like that aspect of it, Cat! Thank you for your generous words. I am a kid!!!! 🙂 xxxx
and so AM I 🙂 🙂 🙂 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXXOOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOX
KID ON XXXXX C
Looks pretty good to us!! 🙂
Thank you, I am sincerely pleased that all of you like it! 🙂
I like the clean, uniform background that excludes the scrolling ‘bit-in-the-middle’.
Thank you Mike, I think I tried out 50 different styles before choosing. I do like the “clean” look myself, but I wanted it to be something I’d be happy with for awhile as well! 🙂
What a nice change! I tried this earlier this year and I just could not get it to work… Wonderful choice Penny, and let’s add some hugs to this…ready?
No more than 15 and no less than 20! 🙂 – B
Thanks Barb, I was nervous during the process but all turned out well, thank goodness and thank you for the many hugs (love hugs) received and returned of course dear friend! 🙂
I think it looks great, Penny, and I also love the font and cover photo! Many hugs!
Hi Lauren, thank you. I’ve had the other one since I started so I was nervous about the change (kind of like moving to a new house). I am pleased you like the new layout my friend, lots of hugs to you also! 🙂
I know, it’s hard to take that step and change, but it’s a good thing, too! You did well, my friend! I used to change my cover photo all the time. I change photos a lot on fb, just because I love to view different photos. Now my cover photo has a deeper meaning, so it’ll stay the same for as long as my blog is alive! Sorry for the ramble! 🙂 xx
Not a ramble, just lovely thoughts Lauren, and thank you again for your support! 🙂 xx
Very nice! I stopped by the acts of kindness section and left a comment there. Love that idea. ❤
I just did the same on one of my blogs! Way to go!!! 🙂
Thank you. It is a great feeling isn’t it, I’ll pop over to view yours now, thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Looks great!
Thank you Kira, you are so wonderfully artistic, coming from you that is a lovely compliment! Again, my thanks for stopping by to comment!
Your welcome! 🙂
Clear and crisp and a beautiful font – very nice Pen. *s*
HI, and thank you very much. I think that’s what I like about it also, Clean and crisp and a very readable font! Again, sincere thanks for the thumbs up!
I really like the font.
Hello Ivonne. Thank you. The font was definitely one of the reasons I picked this one, and I tried out a whole slew of them before deciding, it was much harder to chose than I would have thought it would be! lol, Again thanks for your vote of confidence on my choice! xx
Love it Penny!
🙂
Hello Seyi, and a very special thanks for stopping by with your support on the change. I admit to being a little nervous about switching styles after having the same background for so long. Again many thanks! 🙂
You’re welcome Penny, it’s like moving house but it’s fresh and clean! 🙂
How cool 🙂
Love the new look
Hi Alastair, thanks, it was difficult to change after having the same comfortable one for so long, but I think I made the right choice. So glad you like it my friend! 🙂
I do. I have been thinking of changing mine. But with this theme (which is the same as yours) I can fit a lot of widgets on. I may just change the colour again.
Looks great!!! Always enjoy stopping by for a visit…
Hi Rebecca, a pleasure to have you comment. I am glad you like it. It was a little hard to make a change but felt it was time to do so. Again sincere thanks for your support!
My pleasure! Whatever you do, you are always amazing!
It’s lovely, Penny!
Thank you very much, I am glad you like it, this is important to me! 🙂
