Lately, I've been feeling the need to post bigger pictures on this blog. So to be able to adjust the width of my blog, I had to migrate to a Blogger template. And so here it is.
It was hard to find a background image I liked that worked well with the template and didn't show too many "seams." To get a full background image, you need a 1800x1300 image... that's smaller than 300KB. That's hard! I wish the Blogger folks had thought about that. Even a 500KB image limit would help. I suppose this is already an improvement over how difficult it used to be to customize Blogger templates.
Anyway, I ended up using this lightbulb installation from SF MoMA. It doesn't have any real significance to me (unless the lightbulbs represent all my brilliant ideas, har har har); I just wanted something that looked almost like a pattern or texture, but clean and a little bit more grown-up.
Thoughts?
