Love, Blood and Rhetoric

You may have noticed a few changes around here over the past few days as I've tinkered with a new layout. I got a little tired of the old layout, so I tried a bit of CSS coding and tinkering with the CSS options and have come up with a layout I'm happy with. Yes, there's still blood everywhere. I should really get a mop.

What prompted this? Well, creating new journals (mostly the custom header and icons parts) for the Livejournal based RP I joined. I have one for Iceman here (as cool_and_frosty) and Rockslide here (as rocking_santo). Rather pleased with the custom header I did for Santo's.

Anyway, that encouraged me to freshen up the design here, so I have an entirely new layout (well, not entirely new, I still use Expressive and the same colours) and a new top header (well, okay, newish) which hopefully reflects the origin of the name of this journal, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

There is one thing that's entirely new, however, and that's my Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead mood set, which has taken me far too long. It proved more challenging than I imagined finding good pics for 132 different moods. It turns out that if I wanted a dozen pics for "Confused" I'd be just fine. But finding one for "nerdy" or "ecstatic", for example, was a bitch. Gary Oldman and Tim Roth spend way too much of the the movie just looking blank, nervous or confused.

Anyway, hope people like the new(ish) look.
