Thanks for the clarification, Chris; I was just trying to figure that out. I don’t remember your prior header but FWIW, it’s a bit weird without one. You could just go the minimalist route like Fred Wilson; http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/
yeah, i’ll fix it today.
This is a blog about personal transparency; who the heck cares if I’m a realtor or a dad. The header was noisy popcorn and it distracted from the writing I do.
I hear ya Chris!
It’s been a while since I kept a regular personal blog but one of the things I hated most about my blog was its branding; I really battled to find both a name and an image to head up my blog that I liked. Next time around, I’ll probably just use my name - for better or worse, I’m stuck with it. I do think that your blog’s brand is a lot like listening to the recorded sound of your own voice; terrible for you but quite normal for everyone else.
But I like my own voice. Kidding. Thanks for contributing. And if there’s anything I can help Zillow do in the mortgage world, please, let me help. I am flattered that the mighty Zillo noticed me.
Working on a temporary header now.
This week I’ve been sick as a dog, so haven’t been keeping up on your training and contacts accountability. Plus, I need a new headset to hear the audio!

Dang, now I have a compelling need to see what the old header was like.
