Pink is the epitome of feminism. On a personal front, I love pink. Yes, I’m way over the age where I should still go gaga over pinky stuffs which is more of a young girly thing. But then I’m never known for my discretion.

When I first started my blog, I did consider pink to be the primary template color. I gave up the thought later because I realize it would be a hassle to ensure my blog and content pictures have to complement pink. I do like to incorporate pictures into my posts and going pink is not going to make my life easy. It’s hard enough to find nice pictures and an even harder task to find pictures that complement pink. Well, forget it.

Pink is one of the few colors that is hard to use on blog templates. I don’t know, probably because of its ultra feminine symbolism, guys will of course shy away from pink. I mean real guys, OK?

I’ve seen quite a few pink templates on personal blogs and I could kick myself for not bookmarking those sites. A few of them looks real good but like I say, it’s not for everyone. On the whole, I’ve seen more ugly pink templates than good ones.

But then I’ve not given up hope .. not yet. There must be a pink site somewhere out there in the vast blogosphere that is just waiting for my admiration.

Chinese New Year

Valentine’s Day
I’ve not time to come up with new banners, I thought I might as well showcase some of my old banners from my Blogger blog. I used to change my Blogger banner every 3 months or so to coincide with some festivities. Well, not any more.

I just realized it’s never a good idea to change your brand name… or in this case, blog banner every few months. Aesthetic wise, it may be cool, but then as it progress, it is not such a good idea. Blog identity may stamp from the blog’s postings, but then undeniably, the brand name or banner plays an intricate part in ensuring the blog identity stays intact.

I had fun though with those banners. I will try to come up with new ones as time permits.
