the essence

***Redesign***Redesign***Redesign***Redesign***Redesign***

You know what's been driving me crazy? My blog design. It hasn't changed in about...5 years? I know it's been a long time. I suppose I've never liked change but I'm so tired of this look. It's not at all "me" anymore.

I'm pretty website illiterate though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to get nice layouts or, even better, an easy way to make my own?

What I really want help with, though, is the blog title. I HATE my blog title. It came about in a completely ridiculous way. My title used to be "Brownie Frappuccinos...YUM!" Remember that? How embarrassing.

That's what happens when you just make up a name real quick so you can start a blog. Or maybe that's just what happens when you're me & don't have any snappy quick-witted ideas. As shown by the current blog name, "The Essence."

I was so tired of & desperate to change the original blog title that I just picked one of the first things that came into my mind. I must have been watching Friends recently because one of the first things that popped into my mind is the episode where Chandler says, "The cushions are the essence of the chair." And, that's where the blog title came from. I've told very few people that fact.

And, so, I need a new blog title, and I NEED your suggestions!
