I suck at making decisions!! It's official!
For some time now I have been trying to work on my website. I thought I had simplified the job, in the interim, by buying an existing template & I would later look at designing what I wanted from scratch.
Well, crap! I should have known I was in trouble when I couldn't even decide, out of the two templates I actually liked, which of them I personally liked best & decided to seek the opinions of two males. I'm still not entirely sure I made the right choice in the end either.
The template ....& yes the offensive burgundy background will be the first thing that is changed!
Of course I decided that given it was a template available to anyone who wanted to purchase it, that I would like to give it a little bit of individuality & choose my own style lettering for the header & buttons.
BIG MISTAKE!
If only I could narrow it down to just two fonts that I like.
Initially I was firm with myself...I had a criteria for the fonts that I would choose
So what have I come up with so far:

Initially I was firm with myself...I had a criteria for the fonts that I would choose
- Simple - but different, not basic
- Tribal in Style
- Worn around the edges
- No scrolls, tails or ye olde calligraphy styles
- Available in both lower case & capital letters
So what have I come up with so far:
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8
STOP LAUGHING!!!
Now, I hear you asking "what happened to her guidelines?" between guffaws of laughter! Well you may ask!! I have no idea.
What makes it even worse is that these are just the fonts that have names starting with "A" or "B".
In my defense I am being influenced by the graphics in my header. Both the style & the design....not to mention the pesky black area to the right that somehow seems to make life difficult when it comes to the layout. sigh
These fonts wont be in this colour - I've just put them up this way so that you can actually see them.
Hellllllp!!
