What do you think of my new blog design?

What do you think of my blog's new look?  A while ago, I realized that all the blogs I thought looked the best had white backgrounds.  They're just so bright, happy, clean, uncluttered...  But it took me a while to get my blog's background changed over, mostly because I needed to redesign my blog's header first.

(The poor little elephant doesn't stand out very much against all the white.)

Well, I finally decided it was time.  And with a little help from some friends at The Blog Design Network, I came up with this:

(So you know what I'm talking about if I decide to change it again later.)

And then I found a tutorial on how to make your blog wider.  Awesome--I always thought the posting space was too skinny, even though I set my blog as wide as the Template Designer would let it go.  (And if you click over to the tutorial, you'll find one of the white-background-blogs that inspired my redesign!)

So, do you like the new design?  Is there anything else you would change?  Or anything you would change back?

{UPDATE:  The tutorial I linked to has been taken down.  But Blogger has made it very easy to make your blog pretty wide.  All you do is go to the Template Designer, click on "Adjust Widths," and move the sliders until you like the width.}
