Here's one of a couple by a lake, features brushes (can't remember where I got them from specifically, but all the places I've ever got brushes from are listed here.) and lyrics from Heather Nova's song "Like Lovers Do".

I've now got 100 responses to the poll I mentioned yesterday, so I posted a new poll and I've put up the results for everyone to see. To vote in the new poll, or to see the results from the previous poll (or both!) please follow this link.

This one's a nice one. It's a picture of a girl (not famous that I'm aware of), which I coloured blue, and put the text "When I'm feeling blue... does it show?" on. It's a really good image, I feel. Should look good on 800x600 and above, as I tested it in that and my usual resolution 1024x768.

I've nearly got 100 responses from the last poll. When I get over 100 I'll post the responses and think of a new poll! Meanwhile, if anyone wants to suggest a layout, please send a mail to this address. Thank you!

Here's the first of three Exploding Dog layouts. This is a cute one with a person holding onto a balloon for dear life.

This is the second of three, a really funny picture of a person trying to stick their arm back on with sellotape. Features the phrase "Well, that didn't work."

Last of three featuring two people sitting on a bench (or block of rock as it looks like), one offering something to the other. It screamed out to me to make it into a layout, so here it is.

Site news: The site has been down for a few days due to the server we have here crashing spectacularly when being moved to a (haha) better computer. Luckily the sites we had hosted on there (including RP Designs) were able to be rescued, and my apologies if you tried to reach the website when it was down.

Here's one featuring a picture I found over at where-i-fall of some prozac pills. I called it Prozac Nation, because when I look around diaryland, so many of its inhabitants seem to be depressed.

It's sad but true that most people will be depressed at some point in their lives. If you need something to relate to, please go here. Even if the content doesn't help there are some links to follow that may help more.

Here's a nice little one similar to a few others here on RP Designs, featuring a bee in midflight after pollinating some flowers, which is nice and cheerful. Caption reads "So Many Flowers, So Little Time..."

Keep your eyes open on this spot for another layout soon!

Once again, we've moved to a new server, as due to some problems, the site kept on going down, so to make things easier, RP Designs has moved to a new domain... rpdesigns.sytes.org (instead of .net). As this is hosted locally, problems should be resolved quicker. Please update any links so that they point to http://rpdesigns.sytes.org/ (You should just have to change the .net to .org unless you got a template before the beginning of March.)

Anyway, there are a couple of templates on the way, so watch this space!

I really like this layout. I got the black and white image from the great stock place, and coloured the apple red (as I imagined it would have been in the original photo) in Photoshop, which makes such a huge statement. It really stands out.

To accentuate the red of the apple, I used a red colour for the links, and also the main link bar at the bottom I coloured red to go with it. One of my all time favourites. :-) 46 layouts now. Yay!

Unfortunately, I'm taking down one of the templates (the celebration one) due to selling it to someone who's willing to pay for it. If you want one of the other layouts without anyone else having it, you can email me about buying it.

This is a unique layout here on Raging Pistachio Designs, although it's quite image heavy, it's very effective, with mouseover links, and also a small box where you can put a (very) small biography or a couple of imoods.

Also, Raging Pistachio Designs has moved to a new server, and a slightly new address, this could mean that within time I might be able to host images again in the future.

Here's a nice layout with a gorgeous picture of some tall trees in a forest with the sun shining through. The caption is "The taller the trees grow, the more they crave the light". Features a blurred background for the entry and a special blurred image map for the links, similar to that of the Celebration layout.

This layout is one that I used on an old diary, and as I like it so much, I decided to revamp it a bit, add some extra links, and put it up on here so you could use it too! It's a Heather Nova layout, featuring lyrics from her song Heal from her album Oyster.
