Some of you may be wondering about the design and motif of this blog. That's what I'm going to answer today.
It's money because I need money.
But I'm already getting sick of this background because I think it implies that I'm going to be giving sound financial advice like Suze Orman. I won't be doing that because Suze Orman is already awesome and does not need my help.
So I'm thinking about changing the look of the blog and am taking suggestions! Just leave them in the comments section underneath. All comments will be reviewed by my blog manager/gene sharer, Erin, who will then change it how she wants, while simultaneously taking bossy commands from me. Yea for reader participation!
And please, after you're done leaving your suggestions, feel free to take the thought provoking poll that I have added to the right side of the site.
I think you should put penguins in the background. They are formal, yet cute and fun. I'm just saying.

What better way to display your adventures in Siouxland then to accent your blog with an image of a member of the namesake tribe? Though in doing this you must consider the many benefits and repercussions of committing such an action. The first being that it is a great dispute about whether or not the image portrayed in this logo is actually a respectful, actual depiction of an actual member of the Sioux tribe. As is well known, following the 2010-2011 Athletic and Academic school year the University of North Dakota will no longer be known as the “Fighting Sioux”. This may or may not be a safe indication about the general public opinion of the subject. I would suggest that if you do choose for this logo to be present in your background that you contact and consult with the proper authorities on the subject. These consultations will give you great insight into whether or not the layout of your blogging website will impact via priming the interpretation of the reader before he and/or she dives in the literature. Also if you determine that public opinion is in outrage over such a logo then it may be in the best interest of the success of your blog to not follow through with this idea and rather come up with a better solution to your problem. Though with the consultations, you will be able to determine whether you want to display your blog and/or writing skills and/or opinion and/or adventures in Siouxland in this way. In making such a suggestion though, I must also realize the entire scope of such a blog. The other portion of your life that you display is your adventures across the great state of Iowa. In choosing a background such as the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux you may confuse your audience by displaying propaganda advertising an entirely different state in the Union. Because of this potential confusion, in choosing such a background I may suggest that your place an asterisk and explain to your audience what your interpretation of the background is rather than leave it up to them. You though must consider your other options in publically displaying your love for such a great state. Yu may explore options in which publically show the greatness that is Iowa. My suggestion is to find images that display propaganda that support this image. John Wayne a native of Iowa is a perfect example of Hollywood ideology. Displaying his image would show the world that you are proud to be an Iowan. There are many such options that you may choose from in order to portray the message that you are trying to get across. This will result in everybody being happy with the results of your newly decorated BlogSpot webpage.
