On the lighter side

[gungaden]

My suggestion is on the lighter side..... With your theme of the Lord Of The Rings, above this site's logon, you might have the phrase which appeared above the West Gate of Moria (Narvi Gate) ==> "Say friend and enter".

The Doors of Durin, also called the West-door or the West-gate of Moria, were created in the Second Age by the Dwarf Narvi, as the western entrance to Khazad-dûm. In these times, they stood open and were guarded by a doorwarden, allowing free and friendly trade between the Elves and the Dwarves.

The doors were made of ithildin, which mirrored only starlight and moonlight. When the moon was out in full and ancient words long-forgotten were spoken, fine silver lines would appear, outlining the secret door. The designs on the arch, which were made by the Elf Celebrimbor, included a hammer and an anvil (the emblems of Durin); a crown and seven stars; two trees surmounted by crescent moons; and a single star (the Star of the House of Fëanor). The inscription at the top of the arch read: "Ennyn Durin aran Moria. Pedo mellon a mino" - "The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter.""(More literally translated "Say friend and enter")

I choose this theme because it looks good, it's coherent as a whole (except I want a stronger delineation between posts), and it has some functionality built-in that I really want (like support for the Google ads).

I'm actually thinking about replacing that top image with something more TinyMe centric. I'm not sure if it's misleading or not to have people coming to the TinyMe site and seeing "Lord of the Rings" at the top. I am a fan of LOTR, but not really strongly. At the very least I'm thinking we should add something on top of it the image that says "TinyMe" with the logo. Maybe replace the sword and ring with the TinyMe logo?

If anybody wants to take a look at doing this, you can download the theme (named "tolkien_11") at:
