Awwwwww!! Thanks! :-D

So about the colors and logo…

Green is may favorite color, so it just wouldn’t feel like “home” without it. ;-)

The simplicity of the diary was actually requested by me, because I wanted something that would translate easily to silkscreening, embroidery, embossing and the like. I wanted a fun, not too fussy and easy to recognize logo – and I think I got one.

I mean…it’s a gear…on a diary…no doubt it’s Gear Diary! Ha!

I agree that Dooce has a gorgeous header / banner, though! :-D

I would look for another diary -- this looks a little too "stock" for a leading edge website; like something you would get from Microsoft Word ClipArt. Of course this might be better directed to the logo Dude but it's important to integrate the logo with the rest of the website.

I'll rename it later today. Let me know if it works after that. thanks for the heads-up. I’ll rename it later today. Let me know if it works after that.

The first thing I add to my Adblock's rules is to block every image with 'banner' in its name from loading. This is to avoid seeing those often annoying advertisement banners. This same rule is also included in Adblock Plus default rule set so I guess I'm not the only reader whose Firefox won't load your wonderful logo at all.
