I’ve managed to make some updates to my design here.

Firstly, you’ll notice a new gradient effect when you scroll to the top and bottom of the site. That was fun to do, but much more time consuming than I first expected. If you look at the image to the lower left, you’ll see it looks pretty simple. Just some funky mountains, a sun, and some fuzzies. It has two colors: gray and black. Because the background is transparent, when you scroll over the black gradient at the bottom, the black images get hidden while new images appear. I learned the technique from a great website called “CSS-Tricks“.

(I may have forgotten to mention that I’ll be experimenting quite a lot here with CSS!)

Also, I’ve updated the banner image at the top. Now, the picture is of my creation (aside from the grass, which comes from the original graphics provided with the theme by LonelyTree). That funky tree thing was from an ink drawing I did almost 15 years ago. I scanned it, cleaned it up, and smacked it between two hills.
