Had it not been for Nora's comment, I would have promptly forgotten about this blog's third birthday - it does seem to be some sort of recurring theme... Especially when yesterday's post would have been quite suitable to double as anniversary post....ah, never mind!
Being time-poor as usual, any culinary adventure fit for an anniversary was out of the question, so I decided to finally do something about the long-planned make-over of this blog. Yes, that's right, it was planned for a long time with designing new headers, fighting with the template, trying to understand Html and CSS (still not much of an advance in that respect) and all the cursing that comes with it. However, I didn't really like any of my earlier attempts. The day-long shooting for the perfect new header photo somehow never came - and the project was abandoned - shame on me...
So, on a whim, I decided to turn yesterday's cheeseckae photo into my new header and played around with the new blogger-template (luckily it worked out this time). There are still a few odds and ends to fix up - haven't figured out how to change my column width or how to convert to three columns and many more things like that.
However, this blog got new clothes to start afresh into its third year! Feel invited to come along with me and please tell me what you think of the new look!

congrats, Eva! I think you really have the perfect header! I love it.
Thanks so much, Anh, I've been dying to get feedback!
I can hardly leave the whole thing alone, there's always something more to clean up...
Great! That new banner looks really beautiful!
Cheers,
Rosa
Well, I like it very much thank you!!
Fascinating what you can do! Sometimes it's just right there for you.
And how fun to take the photo of yesterday to wave good-bye to! Excellent!
I love your new header. It's lovely and welcoming, just the way I feel about your blog.
Eva,
The new header is so luscious! I feel as though I can just reach out and have some of that cheesecake. And I love that deep, passionate red background as well. Overall I think it's elegant and professional :-)
Happy 2nd Blog-Anniversary and here's to another year!
cheers, nora
Thank you, Rosa, I'm glad to hear that!
Thanks, Lynn! I guess it's mainly because I decided to get finally done with it..;-) Otherwise this project would have dragged on even longer...
Thank you, Lynn, I'm aware that I'm not nearly posting often enough to deserve your comment (especially recently...) but I'm very happy that all's not lost yet!
Thank you, Nora, I'm so happy about your support - without it, I wouldn't even celebrate this anniversary!
First of all, let me wish you a Happy Blog Anniversary and many more posts to come.
I really liked your header. Looks beautiful.
Very pretty, Eva! I'm thinking I need to do a re-vamp myself, using some of all the new Blogger features...
Congratulations Eva, I hope for many more years to come with your delicious recipes and beautiful photographs! :)
Enjoy your day, Margot
Thank you, Aparna, I hope I'll be posting a bit more frequently in the next few months...
Thanks, Zarah Maria! It was about time for me to finally make the jump - the new labels are so much better.
Thank you, Margot! I'm currently trying to advance a bit more in my photography so I hope for the best!
