New header

I have to admit to being very pleased with myself as I have managed to create a lovely new header and logo for my blog. I don't use Photoshop but found some tutorials on the web that I was able to adapt to the version of Photoshop I have access to. It took a little while to get my head round it but I think I'm pleased with what I managed to come up with. Although the blog title refers to the L-Space of Terry Pratchet's Discworld, I've always had a (very) amateur intereset in astronomy so I also like to think about the other meaning of 'space' too. I'd recently changed my blog background to an astronomy one to reflect this so thought I'd like to stick with stars for my logo image. It'll need a few tweaks yet to get it just right, but I'm pretty happy to have got this far without too much trouble.
Although we didn't cover Photoshop in the CPD23 things I think that carrying out some of the tasks for the things has encouaged me to play around with stuff that I maybe wouldn't have before. I still haven't managed to finish the 23 things but it seems to have achieved it's aim in pushing me to try new things and extend my skills. Oh well. 13 things down, 10 to go. Not convinced I'll get all the way there but watch this space...
