Shortly after that move, the last few tweaks were made to bring the design to what it is today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI am not currently of a mind to make any dramatic changes to my design. But I thought I would give any budding designers out there a chance to offer my blog a birthday present. I reckon it might be time I got myself a logo to replace that persistent blue bar and the current \u201cadrianwarnock.com\u201d title. So this post also announces a competition to design me a logo \u2014 feel free to submit as many drafts as you like via e-mail. There is, however, no guarantee I will use any of them. No prize is being offered, except the reward of knowing I might use your logo, although I will, of course, acknowledge any winner in a blog post here. So if you think five years of blogging deserves a better logo than my current plain text, now is your chance!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
