It’s time that I kick my book-writing into high gear, which of course can only mean one thing: I spent the last few days redesigning the blog. Obviously, if you’re reading this on our site then you’ve noticed it already unless you have a very narrow field of vision. If you’re reading this in your RSS reader, then click on over to the site to check out the new digs.
One reason that I decided to go for a redesign is that our last theme (launched April 2009) made posting just a little more work than it needed to be. I had to find a little thumbnail for the front page and try to write a witty teaser for each post. It’s not that much work, but it was just enough to convince me not to post on my lazier days. It was a magazine format, but I just wanted a good ol’ blog back. Also, with the extra work required, I couldn’t post from my phone; with this new look, I can! (get ready for 4 straight posts on how crowded the subway is)
We’re still working out the kinks in our new face. If you encounter any issues, please let us know. I’ll continue to experiment with different parts of the site, but hopefully the new theme will get us back to doing what we do best: finding reasons to not post.
It looks sweet! And I mean sure it may not look as cool in IE…but I think that if a reader is still using Explorer, that’s their problem, not yours. Haha.
Hehe. I still want to make it a good experience for our brothers and sisters unfortunate enough to still be using IE.
Love, love, LOVE the new look!! Great design, CD!
Thanks! Still have some tweaks to make, but I hope that it will get us back to our bloggy selves.
Yay! Love the new look! And I much prefer the traditional blog format…so hooray for that, too!
Thanks, Sue! It’s nice having everything on the front page. I missed it.
Very nice, very hip, very metropolitan! Good job!
Thanks, Sean!
It looks great! I need to be working on our team website’s blog and I’d love to re-do Elizabeth’s / our family blog. Maybe I can find motivation in your snazzy looking new e-duds!
Just copy ours, put a picture of Prague in the background, and turn all of the links red. Bam!
