I am making some efforts to both change and brighten up this blog. I use a template (Sand Dollar) provided by Blogger, but have not changed to any others simply because I have not found a template that I like better than Sand Dollar. There are plenty of templates available on the web - but I have decided to make my own changes by adding to the Sand Dollar template I use. I have changed the layout slightly, as well as some colours and fonts.
The main change so far is that I have added a new topstrip graphic to replace the old simple brown box with the blog title. I have had some fun adding graphics to create the new graphic:
From left-to-right, the pictures are:
- Roma and I on our wedding day - 13th September, 1986 (XOXOX)
- Preston North End crest - my fav team
- Roma in 1984 - a photo I have had in my wallet for 26 years
- A Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic - my bike
- The Beatles
- Me in 2008
- George Best - the greatest ever footballer
- Harley-Davidson logo - my fav brand
- Me on Harley outside NCI - 2009 photo for "Inside NCI" magazine
- The cover of my book
- Mum and Dad's wedding day - 22nd October, 1958
- Calliostoma zizyphinum (L.) - my PhD was based on the morphology of this topshell
- Me in 1984
- John Lennon - my idol
- Patrick Pearse - another idol
- Map of Co Wicklow - so that I'll never forget where I am from
Not on the topstrip, but will be added:
- Marilyn Monroe
- iPhone
Enjoying the new look blog Eugene!
