It has everything right where you want it &#8211; easy loading page, easy navigating page.\u00a0 Suddenly on Thursday I landed on Google to find a faded white Google name &#8211; and all the navigation buttons white with a drop shadow and difficult to read; and then this slower loading huge image.<\/p>\n<p>Next up how to change it. A handy &#8220;change the background&#8221; link in the lower left corner. The catalog of choices was few when I was there.\u00a0 I finally created my own and positioned it to just cover the white Google name.\u00a0 But, still their choice of white on white with a drop shadow was a bit odd for all the other buttons\/links.<\/p>\n<p>Their forums were lit up with unhappy users&#8230;and accusations of mimicking Bing flying furiously.\u00a0 (We DO take our Google seriously.)<\/p>\n<p>Happy to find by Saturday Google abandoned the idea.\u00a0 Now, you can choose to have an image&#8230;or not.\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 I like a white background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google&#8217;s background blunder. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/google-background\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[66],"class_list":["post-123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-smallbusinesswebsite","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":127,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions\/127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brendasimon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
