Okay, so, as you probably already noticed, I tweaked my site a bit over the weekend. I’ve paired down some of the images and the colors. The way I see it, I *write* the stuff that appears on my blog, but you guys are the folks that so kindly come here to *read* what I’ve written. For that, of course, I’m incredibly grateful. And, I thought it might be nice to give you all a say in what my redesigned site should look like. Let’s start with the headers. Every time you load FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com, the header image changes. There are a total of six images:
Yellow is my second favorite color. (Orange is my most favorite.) I took this picture of a yellow follow while fooling around in Central Park last summer.
I love New York. This is a cropped picture of the Statue of Liberty. I took the picture several months ago when my sister came to town. It was her second visit to New York, and the first time that she’d seen the Statue. (I’ve been inside that green lady more times than I can count.)
This is a picture of all of the stuff I use when getting ready for a date. I photoshopped the word “funkybrownchick” on the labels of all of the makeup.
Sexpot Donna took this picture when I was visiting her and Big T Man at their place. Error Boy added the pretty color graphic stuff behind the word “funkybrownchick”
On the beach with Mags, Bro and Bituin at Coney Island a couple of months ago. I’m wearing a bikini in the picture, but I’m much too modest to use that whole picture as a header image.
My smile. My favorite mug. My face. My blog name. My favorite city.
Those are the header images, and I wanna know which ones you like best. So, feel free to use the comment section to state your preference. If everyone likes one image much more than the others, I’ll use that image as the static image for the FAQ, Archives and About pages. If there’s a header image that everyone universally hates, I’ll cycle that one out of rotation. And, of course, if anyone out there wanted to design a new new FBC header image (970×140), I’ll add it to the rotation and give you credit for your work. So, that’s it. Time to place your votes, folks!

UPDATE:Woot! Woot! Sexpot Donna created the ab fab FBC header below. I’ve included it in the header rotation as well. Three cheers for Sexpot Donna!!!

I love, love, love the sunflower or daisy picture. Stunningly beautiful! Uh, but not as pretty as you, FBC. Tee-hee.
Heya fbc I like the redesign. In my honest oppinion I would leave the script with random header images, just as I have it on my site. So everyobdy stays happy and it chagnes the layout from time to time :)
Altho I must say that I like the flower header too. For the creative award I would go to the makeup picture hehe :)
I think I like the second one with the statue, or the last one. I like that it incorporates you and NYC.
I like the makeup one best. 2nd is the “Sexpot Donna”/Error Boy/You created pic.
The last three but (not an insult or anything) I don’t think the playboy bunny pic is the cutest one I’ve seen of you. I would recommend using a different shot. The last one is also cool but I would change the order of the pictures and make them more uniform in size.
aaaahhhh, just noticed that you have FBC on all the cosmetics! Cleva!!!! I like!!!! I like the rotating headers personally.
I like the makeup one.
I definitely like the beach one the best. I guess I’m the only vote for it, though!
I like the rotating header, including the beach photo.
I love the last one :)
Hehe you knew I had to come up for breathe to vote (it is my duty LOL)
I like the last one best, with the Statue of Liberty one as my runner-up. I also love the sunflower one, but it doesn’t really say “New York” (or any of the other things your blog is about) to me. I think the other two suit your themes better.
I like the last one the best. Composites are fun!
the third one, duh! You know how to write when getting ready for a date and when I read it I feel so identified, it gives me goose bumps.
that’s the image

Howard: Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE, my dear!! :-)
papigiulio: I kind of like this option, too. This way it’s like picking *all* instead of only one.
Mags: One vote for the statue.
Bro: One vote for makeup, and one for the team effort.
CaliB: I can’t bring the sexy in *EVERY* picture!! :)
sexpotdonna: Two votes for the makeup.
Arwen: Statue 1, makeup 2, and beach 1,
Pegs: Tie between makeup and beach.
Felicia: I *love* it that you showed up to vote! :)
Stefanie: And, the big green statue lady takes the lead!
AW: Okay, so now you’ve brought the composite up to the lead with the statue photo.
Nat: THANKS!!! I’m really glad that you liked that post!! :)
And, with that … ladies and gents, we have a tie!! I think the makeup, statue and composite photos all had the same number of votes. I’ll use each image for the archives, about and FAQ page. That worked out nicely. :-)
Show us your headers! You have such nice headers! I love your headers!
-”Blogs Gone Wild”
Woot! Woot!
If it’s headers you want, it’s headers you’ll get, my friend. Check out this brand spanking new header courtesy of the one and only Sexpot Donna!! :)
I love them ALL! I just spent 2 minutes hitting the “refresh” button and looking at all the mastheads magically change before my eyes. Keep em’ all…it really entertains a bored girl like me! ;o)
Glad you like them!! :)
And, again, big kisses go out to Sexpot Donna for the design with the cocktail.
I love the second one :)
Great! :-) The one with the statue was popular. Eventually, I’ll update the About, FAQ and Archives pages to reflect the three headers that everyone liked the most.
