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.
aKate,
Looks good.
Might I recommend a Facebook link under Spread the Word?

Thanks!
Comment by Chubby Mommy on September 25, 2007 at 3:06 pmNice. I liked the old one just fine. But this is nice, too.
Comment by Margi on September 25, 2007 at 4:51 pmI liked the old one, too, but sometimes change happens.
Comment by Chubby Mommy on September 25, 2007 at 5:09 pmI liked the old one better. But then I can’t fathom complaining about a person’s blog design.
Comment by jae on September 25, 2007 at 8:21 pmI’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!
Comment by Jenny-up the hill on September 26, 2007 at 10:31 amAwww, 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.
Comment by Jennifer on September 26, 2007 at 12:31 pmOMG, 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.
Comment by Chubby Mommy on September 26, 2007 at 1:03 pmLooks good! Of course, I like it, it’s very similar to my layout that I just did. You have cake and I have flowers. ![]()
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!
Comment by Jennifer on September 27, 2007 at 7:00 amLynne, 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.
Comment by Chubby Mommy on September 27, 2007 at 11:40 amYeah! Comments start from the top and not from the add a comment box! Yeah!
