Festival Hosting and Helping Redesign The Happy Rock
I will not be posting an article Monday, because on Tuesday morning I will be hosting my first blog carnival. The 88th Festival of Frugality will be jam packed with some great frugal advice.
Second, for a while now I have been working on a redesign of the site. I hoped to release it this weekend, but caught an ugly cold that kept me down.
I am having trouble deciding on the column colors for the new theme and wanted to enlist your help. Click through to the Picasa album below, have a look at the six pictures provided, and cast your vote in the comments section. Reference the pictures as they are numbered in the album; 1 on the left 6 on the right. I would like to get 25 votes to get a good sense of the community choice. Feel free to add any comments or color suggestions that I may have overlooked. Thank you for the help.

The Vending Machine 2 for 1 – Frugality or Stealing?
Happy Rock,
My vote from most liked to least liked is #3, #6, #4, #5, #2, #1
Can’t wait to see the new look. Thanks for the vote.
I like # 3
I like #3 the best as well.
Number 3 is my favorite.
#1 & #3 are my favorites.
BTW, for someone who started their blog at about the same time as me, your blog looks spectacular! Awesome job.
Thank your for the votes, they are really helpful.
Tally (including offline votes) :
1. #3 with 7 votes
2. #1 with 2 votes
3. #6 with 2 votes
And I don’t particularly like #3, what is it about that one that is appealing?
Are you still taking votes? I think #1 & 2 that lime green in column 2 is TOO much. Conversely, column 2 in #4-6 is either too dark or too similar to column 3. So, layout #3 seems to win by default.
I also vote for 3, but I actually think that its second column is still too eye-catching – it pops the most with that color in it. Have you considered putting your text on a non-white background?
I don’t design blogs but I love throwing my opinions around 😉
If you’re still taking votes, my favorite is number 1. Can’t wait to see the new design.
You’re doing a wonderful job. I look forward to reading The Happy Rock and I really don’t care what color it comes in.
