Don't feel bad. Where I sent to school for college, they considered Comp Sci an engineering major when it came to math. If they hadn't, I would've been exempted from math courses through my SAT scores. Because they DID, I had to take Calc I 4 times to pass it, and Calc II twice. Argh. I started to think I was mildly dyslexic. @Forest – Ha ha ha. Don’t feel bad. Where I sent to school for college, they considered Comp Sci an engineering major when it came to math.

Perfect, only problem is I had to go get a calculator to work out the answer to the spam protection! I always had problems with sums containing 7 :) I love it, straight away we are greeted by a greedy Bush and then Bruce is back!!

I've always favored white backgrounds anyway since they're just easier to read. Keep it up! Looking good, Bush! I’ve always favored white backgrounds anyway since they’re just easier to read.

One of the things that I really wanted to fix from my last theme was how my header area took up soooo much freakin' room and in my mind didn't search a real point. Though my current theme's header still takes up some room, I think it's scaled down a bit plus I managed to get my ugly mug in there too. And thanks for reminding me about the feed icon. That's something that I'm aiming to take care of as soon as I get to my next couple of things I shape up about the design. @Aaron – Yeah thanks.

I love your picture there at the top. It really gives it a nice, personal look/feel/welcome. And bringing Bruce back was also an excellent move. Like I commented earlier, “my only suggestion is to add some sort of interesting photo somewhere near the header area…something that kinda personalizes it…kinda sets it apart from the rest.” And dang man, you hit it right on. A total home run! :) BTW, not sure it you know, or if it’s supposed to be that way…but your feed icon is NOT clickable or linked anywhere. You should link that sucker to your site feed so readers can subscribe. Right now I don’t see any way to subscribe to your site feed! Shine on, Aaron It looks great Bush!

Thanks for letting me know! @John - Glad you like it and I'm not sure if a dark grey would look better but it's certainly something I'll look into. Thanks for the idea. *thumbs up* @Christine – I took some time to address though issues yesterday so I’m glad that (hopefully) I’ve worked out everything. Thanks for letting me know!

One comment, would a dark grey rather than a black be better on the eyes? Hey Bush :) ,

Not sure what I was thinking there. Ha ha @Brown – Yeah, hopefully these will be easy fixes but we’ll see.
