New design to my blog

As you can see, I've made changes to the design and layout to this blog. I've been looking to have it look and feel a little more like my website....for more continuity. This is as close as I've gotten. The background (in case you can't tell) is a picture of a pallet with blobs of paint on it. The same as the home page of my web site.  Tell me what you think! More than likely I will continue to tweak it in the next couple of weeks.
