Site Changes

A number of you have sent emails asking for a layout easier on the eyes. Some didn’t like the lack of color contrast, while others just couldn’t stand the pink. I hear ya.

I was rather fond of it myself, but I did want something that felt a bit more roomy.

After a long morning of tinkering with the new layout, I think I’ve managed to address all of the various requests. Although I’ve tried poking around to find all of the problems, I’d appreciate a note if you happen to discover one that I overlooked.

    Kate,

    Looks good.

    Might I recommend a Facebook link under Spread the Word?

    I haven’t checked out Facebook yet. I know, hard to believe, isn’t it? Once I do I’ll add in a link there, Flap.

    Thanks!

    Nice. I liked the old one just fine. But this is nice, too.

    I liked the old one, too, but sometimes change happens.

    I liked the old one better. But then I can’t fathom complaining about a person’s blog design.

    I’m with Jae…though I didn’t see the previous design, I can’t imagine complaining about it. Strange! I do like this design though…especially the little cupcakes…scrumptious!

    Awww, I liked the old design… I had to refresh when I first landed over here because I just came from my own weightloss blog that has the same graphic. It was me going wait a minute… It does look nice though.

    OMG, I’m so embarrassed, Jennifer! I saw the graphic at iStockPhoto and loved it — but since I usually read blogs in my newsreader I didn’t realize you were using it, too.

    I’ll fix that.

    Looks good! Of course, I like it, it’s very similar to my layout that I just did. You have cake and I have flowers. :-D

    No need to be embarassed! I put the layout together last week, and launched the site over the weekend… it just goes to show we’ve both got great taste!

    Lynne, I liked your 3-column layout quite a bit. This free template had little suns as the icons and a car at the top, along with colors I found a bit too difficult to read. The nice thing about this design is that it’s far less crowded… which is important since I tend to be “wordy”. ;)

    Jennifer, thanks! I’ve switched the graphic — the crazy cake seemed to fit, anyway. After paying for that other one, though, I may have to find some place to use it just so I don’t feel like I completely wasted the money.

    Yeah! Comments start from the top and not from the add a comment box! Yeah!

    I thought you’d like that. ;)
