Julie's Boggle

I know I mentioned I’d put up photos of the new windows but time ran away with me again. I had in mind that I’d get round to them right after I finished the custom header graphic I was playing with, and – you guessed it – that didn’t actually happen.

On the plus side, I had an entertaining few hours designing the current header graphic using a package called Gimp. (That’s its logo on the left.) For those not in the know, Gimp (or “The Gimp”) is an open-source (i.e. *free*) Photoshop alternative. It’s an amazingly powerful tool with loads of features – just like Photoshop – but I’m still in the bracket of rank beginner when it comes to stretching its capabilities.

A small catch related to the finished header is that it does make the overlying text look rather clumsy… But I’m saving that fix for another day.
