Design Post #4

If you want to read an actual post, scroll down just a little bit; I wrote a quick overview of how awesome Canadian politics are these days (which sounds so boring, but trust me, it's not). 
Please read about Canada.
I love Canada.

But today . . . it's more design.

I found this example of web design online, and it reminded me a bit of my own blog design. 

CatsWhoBlog.com

This blog reminds me of my own because of the busy background design that utilizes a lot of colors, the left-justified posts, and the right-justified information. On this blog, the information are links to tutorials, a tag cloud, and advertisements; on mine, the information is my bio, YouTube links, and a hierarchy of posts.

What I like about this design is the visual interest created by the multiple colors; it is eye-catching. I think the background on this particular design is a bit busy. However, I think this design utilizes white space very well, because it simplifies the text space.

This design makes me think about my own blog, and I worried that my own background is too busy.
