I asked you to pick from three options:<\/p>\n<p>Option 1 \u2013 leave theme black and white<\/p>\n<p>Option 2 \u2013 change to white background with 1 accent color (if you choose this option tell me what color you suggest)<\/p>\n<p>Option 3 \u2013 other suggestion, you tell me what you think<\/p>\n<p>Boy, was I amazed at the number of responses and how many people had such different opinions. One reader posted this comment<\/p>\n<p>Scott:<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to provide the same information as every other travel blogger, then by all means change the theme to look like them, too.<\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, you plan to continue to provide a little different perspective, you plan to occasionally remind us to act like we all share this little blue marble floating through the Milky Way, and don\u2019t plan to post credit card referral links, well, that\u2019s a horse of a different color<\/p>\n<p>Please keep the existing theme. It\u2019s unique and it\u2019s a great visual cue when I hit the site that there will be something that I want to read.<\/p>\n<p>Well Scott (and everyone else who shared similar sentiments) here&#8217;s a promise: I am not going to provide the same content as every other blogger. I will never post affiliate links and I will remain unique!<\/p>\n<p>So, what did I decide? Here it is!
