Sliding Thoughts

Regeneration

It was time. My old design was buckling under the weight of plug-ins, time, and over-use. I decided about a month ago that I needed something new for my blog. I treat it so badly sometimes. :-)

It was like buying a new dress for a high school reunion (although I won’t have mine for another few years)…you want to make sure it looks good, because everyone will be seeing it, and probably judging it just a little.

So with the help of a few friends, my site has its grand unveiling. I commissioned a banner from Jordan, who made my last banner…he had very little to go on, and he did a fantastic job. There was much rejoicing when it was received in my inbox a few days ago.

Notice the new Links page on the sidebar!

If something is broken/needs work, please let me know.

    Oops!

    Also wanted to say I like the new design better–seems “cleaner”…

    I’m still missing a simple “home” link… (or am I totally overlooking it?)
    a slightly lighter background color for the comments would probably be a bit more pleasing to my eyes.
    other than that, really nice! :)

    I like, I like! Very nice : )

    I like the new layout! All you would have to do to make a “home button” is make the top banner clickable back to home. Voila.

  6. sholeh Feb 13th 2008

    Yeah I’m working on making the banner clickable…having trouble with that one. :-)

    I love the banner. It’s fantastic.

    I like the both the old and the new banners. The new one is very dreamy–I bet if I put my ear to my monitor I could hear the ocean. Are the silhouettes supposed to signify anyone in particular?

    BTW, thanks for linkin’ me. :)

  9. sholeh Feb 14th 2008

    Thanks everyone. And no, Steve, no one in particular. :-)
