Some Changes and Additions

After a year and three months of the same blog design, it seemed time for a change, despite my Mr. Woodhouse-ish disdain of change in general. As well as a new header and background, I've added three new blog buttons and a new page.

Here's what the old header looked like... 

A few of my reader expressed a little sadness at the thought of saying good-bye to that picture (drawn by one of my sisters, by the way), so I've put it on the sidebar. 

The new header, for those of you who don't know, is a picture from My Favorite Scene in All Jane Austen Movies and Probably All Period Drama, which is the scene where Emma and Mr. Knightley dance in BBC's 2009 adaptation of Emma. The picture is right when he asks her to dance. Oh, I just love the picture... and the scene... but I'll stop gushing before it becomes the subject of this post. (Hey, maybe I should do that sometime.)

The background I got, in a roundabout way, from Miss Laurie. Thanks, Ladybird! ;-)

These are the three new blog buttons, and they can also be found, along with the others, on my blog buttons page.

(That's where the 'etc.' part of 'Jane Austen, etc.' comes in, as the picture
is from Anne of Green Gables. But I like it.)

(This one will only work if you have a slightly larger sidebar.)

And the last addition is the 'My Favorite Music' page. The idea was first put into my head by my Mouse (er, I mean Miss Dashwood) quite some time ago, and after a while I put up a poll on the sidebar about it, and as 20 people were interested, well, there it is. I had great fun making two playlists: one with a lot of soundtrack music, and the other with some Classical pieces. And if you check at some other point, both playlists will probably be longer. ;-) So far everything is instrumental, which I generally prefer, but after a while I might add another playlist with some of my favorite Singing-songs, heehee. 

I think that's it! Also, I am excited to have hit my 75 Followers mark. (And now I have 76!) I greatly appreciate all of my readers.

So... what do you think of the newnesses? (I know, that's not a word. But I like to use words that aren't really words, unless they're words that aren't really words but everyone else uses them. Because then I'm just being like everyone else, and that's not very fun. --I also like to ramble...)

Blog Button

One new blog button is added to the 'Blog Buttons' page on the upper sidebar. =)

Introducing: Pages

I've just added the 'pages' element to my blog. It's at the top of my sidebar, under 'followers. Here are the sections I have so far:

"Jane Austen's works: a book by book study"
   This is what I've generally been doing with my blog, taking one book at a time and doing a series of posts about it. This page keeps track of what I've posted. Also when I have a post connected with one of the books but it wasn't really in the "section", I put that over to the right.

"Blog Buttons"
   I don't know about you, but when people have different blog buttons, I like to switch them around every so often for something new. I only have 2 so far, but I hope to add more in the future.
                 Here's my new blog button:

<center><a href="http://regencydelight-janeaustenetc.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img alt="Regency Delight ~Jane Austen, etc.~" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4oD0pHsczgLsw496T5owAywqpMj3R8OFmlRU25Q0DMDqXpJngh1JHGQ33TcVzeDPeco3NBJOOdCf66mVDK4HxYKlM-RDpL8CC8sF_zAmuwhIOsn3AM0yQAB8eAzPSlF5HRPEyPPNhnxM/s1600/Emma%252BKnightley+Button.jpg"/></a></center>

And my favorite:
"Old-fashioned Movies"
   Here I list the movies I've seen and can recommend that are from books by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Charlotte Bronte; and then various other movies I like & recommend.
   Each DVD picture is a link to a trailer - unless I couldn't find a trailer, in which case it goes to some other information about the movie. If I've done a review about the movie, I have a link to that as well.
  
Please let me know if you happen to see any mistakes.

Pick Up My Blog Button!!

Guess what everybody? I finally made my blog button! Hooray! I've always liked them. So, if any of you want to pick it up, it's on my sidebar. For some reason it wouldn't let me put it on the post. Does anyone know why?
