When Dave updated his blog’s header, it reminded me I’m long overdue for a site makeover myself. So I cracked open the Appearance menu, fired up Paint.NET, and got to work.
Let me know what you think. I updated the “Best of Buckley” links too.

Brian D. Buckley 
nice art you made for your header and wonderful typography… thumbs up on the makeover…I enjoy giving my blog a makeover or even a makeunder, constantly trying out new themes, I think I’ll try it this summer 🙂
Thanks! The header’s background art is from Cezanne’s “The Big Trees.”
Influencing a theme change is not quite world domination, but my powers are obviously growing; maybe it is time to start building the volcano lair.
For me something does not quite look right with the overlay of your symbol onto the painting: I feel it would look more balanced if either there were a black border to the circle as well or no black border on the inner cut-outs.
Oddly enough, I was thinking exactly the same thing (adding black border to the circle). I’ll try that tonight if I have time.
There, I think that’s a little better.
The black line looks good to me.
