Doing a blog review of someone else's blog helped me to look at mine in a different light. I'll wait to see what my reviewers say. But my first impression is that plain is better than gaudy. Also to leave out repeating the title. The contrast between the colours of the title and my first heading look crummy.
Will consult one of those colour guides for using colour to set the mood of the site. Is there a colour scheme that reflects humour with reflection without being too serious? I really do have a problem with dead serious sites - I just fall a sleep at my computer.
Will have to get another desk journal to keep adding new accounts, passwords and usernames.
After Day 3 I have signed up for these forums as listed in Sue Waters wiki challenge website:
My head is still spinning from wanting to go off on a myriad of tangents as something new on each web site wants to pull me away from the 31 day challenge. Will stay focused on the 31 day material first.

Looks like I need to make changes to the forums that you join :( . Nowadays I would say Classroom 2.0 and maybe my etools ning. But definitely Classroom 2.0 because of the sheer numbers of members it does well.
Colors of sites are hard. Main thing is you want your title & tagline to grab people and the colors to help them realise that your content is worth reading.
Thanks for the suggestions, sue. I have already joined up with Classroom 2.0 a few weeks ago.
I'll try your etools ning group.
I'm also impressed with the support blogging .com group as well.
