Blog Updates & New Layout

I've added some new features to my blog. I've added a new playlist, I use to have one on my first blog so I decided to put one up on here. I've placed it in the side column so you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to either change songs or turn the music off if you don't want to listen to it. Which would end up being a lot of scrolling before you'd reach the bottom because I tend to make really long posts...lol
I've also added a news feed for IndyCroft.com in the side bar, so I don't really have to repost any news or updates from IndyCroft here, it will just automatically show up on the side bar. :)

And as you can see I've changed the layout for my blog! It needs a bit more work but I think it turned out pretty cool for the most part. Let me know what you think.

Anyway enjoy!

I'm impressed that you managed to customise the background and it comes off looking pretty cool. I can imagine it looking even better than it already is if you make one certain tweak.

Here's what I mean:

If you could make that part darker it place more emphasis on the content and the word visibility could improve :)

(P.S. I hat to delete because I double posted by accident)

Yeah I see what you mean. I was having trouble picking a text color that showed up...lol Because the original text was too dark.
Anyway I'll tweak the blog background so it's darker.

How's that?

Looks great :)

Oh and I think the music has a really nice, ethereal sound to it, it doesn't impose too much on the blog itself yet it still has impact. Nice choice :)

Thanks I'm glad it looks better. Yeah I figured I go with something a bit more soothing and it really goes well with the kind of feel the new layout has.
Tracks 1, 2 and 4 are all by Loreena McKennitt, I bought her latest CD a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! It's kind of like celtic folk mixed with new age world. She has a beautiful voice too.

Yeah, it works well and you have good taste in music, I think ;)
