Solid blue banner not so good

(Using ecto again as BlogJet doesn't support mutliple blogs on the same account. Big weakness of that program.)

Using the banner from the main blog just doesn't look good here with the solid blue across the whole screen width. Plus re-creating it again, I didn't do the height the same so the overall solid look was way too much.

I've reverted back to the text headline as I re-think some more.

Blue text (2D5781) on a white background. Getting a bit closer to how I think I want it, but too much white overall. Added the faint silver tint (F2F2F2) to the left and right columns as per the main blog. The idea here is to help focus the eye on the main content in the center column. But, that white headline/banner background makes for too much white.

More experimenting tomorrow.

Drew dropped in earlier, left a comment in the previous post. Nice. Took me a bit by surprise, though, when I saw the Gmail notifier popping up with the comment notification from TypePad as I thought this blog wasn't on any radar screen. Obviously is :)

Hi,
BlogJet DOES support multiple blogs in account - just create a new account in BlogJet and select your another blog (Account Wizard > Select Blog page).

Best regards,

Hi Dmitry. Thanks for that clarification. I was very frustrated with BlogJet last night, as you probably guessed.

With ecto, it's dead easy - when you refresh your profile, it automatically loads any new blog you've created since the last refresh. No having to specifically create a new account.

Worse, I just couldn't figure out how to do it in BlogJet. Now you've explained it, it's dead simple.

Thanks, I'll make something with it to improve usability.
