Choosing design and colors

One is never too old to learn new tricks, and I found designing my blog isn't so easy. I started to choose and when I viewed "my blog" I couldn't even read the words. Wrong font color, wrong background ! So I began to play around until at least the current design and colors somehow fit what I had imagined the whole thing would look like. Next challenge to find the right pictures and start formulating what "my blog" will all be about.
