Yes, it’s a new blog header. Yes, I created it myself. Yes, it’s… well, it’s OK for now, but I expect to do better over time.
Still, thanks to @mattsearles, @miragi, and @bhc3 for their honest and relatively painless feedback. I really appreciate that.
Oh, and if you’re a whiz with graphic design, blog templates, and you’re willing to work for less than peanuts, I’d certainly appreciate any help you have to offer. I’ll do my best to make you famous if you decide to help me. 
EDIT: Dec. 29/09 – the blog header was replaced by a much better logo created by Pamela Weir of Market To The Moment.
I wish I was a whiz at that stuff
It looks excellent, all centered and spiffy and BOLD 
Love it! Glad my feedback was relatively painless!
It'll do for now… and thanks again!
I'm not a web design guru or anything, but I have designed header graphics and tweaked blog templates for some clients. If you need help with anything, just let me know. For you, I'd work for less than peanuts. Probably peanut-free.
You're on! Thanks Pamela!
Fantastic! Let me know when we start.
I'll E-Mail you very, very soon.
I'd be only to happy to lend a hand where I can..
Why, thank you Matt!
why you're welcome..
Are you in a mood where you're thinking about.. I don't know.. a kind of rebranding thing? Or like, what are you thinking about?
