I originally looked around for a Christmas theme, but didn't really find anything I liked. This one had more punch to it. I'll be changing it every so often anyway. In terms of resolution, I'm shooting for at least 1600 for sure, but ideally in the 1920 range. I'm thinking that will cover most single-monitor users.... I don't think too many people will be reading my blog across dual monitors. Haha. @Tyler: Yeah, the mountains are for the winter.

Though I don't think the mountain suites the 'feel' for BTR. Though I guess for winter is suffices ;) What resolution is the background made for? 1600 wide at least I think? Fits about 1.5 screens across my two WS 19's :) but fits fine in one window lol. Looking good Michael!

I'll try and take/email some screenshots. I haven't remembered to come here from any of my other computers yet. I agree with the others though that it will be quite interesting to see the backgrounds change.

As for the ShareThis, it wasn't preventing the site from loading and now seems to be loading much sooner. Maybe it was on my end.

I worked collaboratively with Matt, so communication was definitely a two-way street. While the previous theme may have had a cleaner feel, I was starting to get pretty bored with it. It felt bland to me, so the change is refreshing. Regarding the ShareThis, I'll have to keep an eye on that. If it hangs the site too much, I'll switch back to the regular social media links rather than the ShareThis widget thing. @Derek: Not sure what you mean by how much input I had.

The site is still functional, although not sure about the actual ShareThis functionality. Just sayin... Just noticed one thing…the ShareThis code seems to be hanging the load from fully completing.
