Another New Look
Well, what do you think?
Is this background more Tiki Hut?
I can see the water at the bottom using Chrome. On Internet Explorer, all I get is sky. But the same oranges and blues are here, even with just sky showing.
Blogger offers an option with palm trees, but there's very little color with it. I LOVE COLOR.
If this still doesn't give you the right feel, I'll continue experimenting. After all, Under the Tiki Hut is all about you. I want you to feel good when you visit here.
Speaking of feeling good when you visit . . . have you ever visited someone at their home and gotten a completely different impression of them than you had before you saw where they lived?
And when it happens, does it totally creep you out?
I want to write a character like that.
He would be the antagonist . . . that's the easy call.
But what if she were the protagonist?
Could she carry a novel?
Could readers relate to her?
Would they want to?
How would you write a character like this?

It's fun experimenting!
I like that house vs personality set up. Great idea!
Mason - Thanks.

Tossing It Out
Sometimes people's homes don't seem anything like them and it does weird me out. Very true. It's great material for a character.
As for your character, I can tell you've really thought about it. I think it would be interesting to read what you come up with.

Joanne - I'm glad you see it all! I haven't found a tropical island yet, but I'll keep looking. That's what I'd love. Maybe Blogger will come through for us :)
Aubrie - Thanks.
Clarissa - I'm glad this template works better. This character and another one who seems very different are playing together in my head. I don't know yet what will come of them.
Talli - Great! Thanks.
I like the new background. Now I really, really want to see a tiki hut or parrots or a fruit drink in you header. :)
Southpaw - I'd really, really like to add something to the header, but I'm not sure I know how to do that. Anyone?

Kathi - It's always summer Under the Tiki Hut.
Mason - I just added the chairs tonight. Tried to add another photo that said it was public domain and received a nasty pop-up instead. Deleted it.
I think a character like this really could carry a story and they would probably be very interesting as we delved into the facets of their personality and the different discourses they operate within.
Interesting thoughts and I love the background.
Problem is, what would creep you out might not creep me out. Unless it's something really creepy like the guy having his stuffed dead mother in a rocking chair. Or something equally creepy. But, then again, maybe that's just creepy to me.
True about the creepiness factor. I'll think on that.
I see you all over the blogosphere. I figured it was time I drop in to say hello.
Hello. ;)

I'll have to think about the character... An intriguing idea you have.
I'm so happy you visited and commented. I always like knowing who's here. Come back any time you like. No doors here, so pull up a chair and order your favorite drink - no charge :)
Ann - Thanks. I've tinkered off and on for a week or so, so I'm hoping I'm done. At least for a while. I'll probably keep checking every once in a while to see if Blogger offers new designs, but that will be about it until they do.
That's a nice challenge you're presenting yourself w/. Sometimes the impression can be positive. She can dress in old clothes but actually lives in a fine home. Or vice versa.
I'm glad you like the new look :)
