Okay, so I'm sure all of you noticed the subtle change in my blog header, but it was Toronto-based Lotus Reads who first commented on it a few hours ago. It's just a minor change, but the words ``Totally committed to encouraging excellence in others'' were added a few days ago.
It's a role I'm really comfortable with and thank you, Bart, for referring to me as ``everybody's favourite Aussie jack-of-all-trades and blog godfather''.
The story of my blog header is an interesting one. I just had a plain text header for months. Then Terry Fletcher of Terry's Playpen fame emailed me a new header that he had constructed, using one of my own photographs from the Australian winter equinox about six weeks ago. (Incidentally, you can see the rapid transition of light in the space of three minutes at Light Entertainment.)
Terry's header was so creative that I accepted his offer immediately and with great gratitude. Terry has helped a few other bloggers change their headers, and has a couple of posts on his own blog at Ahem and Change Your Header. They're very informative and easy to follow, if you want to change a header.

Hi Colleen,
Thank you. I smile a lot - and your comment just brought a big goofy grin to my face.
Keep smiling

Hi Karoline,
Again, that big goofy grin gets broader. Happy to be godfather to all of you. It is a great pleasure and a considerable honour.
I mean every word of that, too.
Keep smiling
David
I really do like your header. It is a pretty picture which is perfectly blended with the script in the foreground :)
Nice :)
Hi Raaji,
I wish I could take the credit for it, but it was Terry Fletcher who came up with the concept.
Only the photograph is mine.
Some of your pictures are very striking. Do keep in touch.
Cheers

David, you're such an inspiration, I want to work on changing my blog header too. Thanks for telling us how the new header came about, I am going to Terry's blog now.
Thank you!
I love when people take the time to really personalize their blogs. I have helped a few people to dress theirs up. I don't have a ton of html experience, but I have just enough to be dangerous... err... somewhat effective.
Hi Lotus,
Inspiration? Not really! I'm a stick-in-the-mud and would never have changed the header if it wasn't for Terry.
Keep smiling
David
Hi Dawn,
VERY effective, in your case!
Keep smiling
David
