I like the watercolor-ish background on your old header, too. Check back tomorrow to see the direction I think I'm finally going to take... I'm excited!

You were asking about examples of that style carried through to the web. My personal blog had that style for some time. <a href="http://randaclay.com/lumps/wp-content/themes/oldfashioned/img/bodybg.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here's a link</a> to check out the header. I don't know how well I accomplished carrying through the look, but it sure was fun to design. I had a book that had some color circus posters from the era that was my inspiration.I was a bit surprised in the direction you were going with the design actually- your comment about it being too romantic/girly was what I was thinking. It was cute, but seemed too cute and swirly for your site somehow. I love the Victorian poster/letterhead style too. You were asking about examples of that style carried through to the web.

Very cool (particularly loved the <a href="http://mediaboom.com/" rel="nofollow">mediaBOOM</a> site, it <em>must</em> be 3D, though!) kristarella,
