Shiny and New

Business

Look everybody, it’s a new design! I’m so excited, I even pulled from my precious store of exclamation points. I realized a few weeks ago, that I haven’t touched the design since 2001. Apparently, I fear change.

As you can see, the new site has photos, and comments (on occasion), and a recent photo of me in which I’m not wearing the glasses that I sat on in 2002. It also has ads, which I hope will not annoy you, and which will definitely not annoy you if you use an RSS reader. Many thanks to Thor of Rubyred Labs, who spent much more time on the redesign than he should have, because he’s committed that way.

I hope you like it, because I love it. If you don’t like it, I suspect you’ll have the decency to pretend that you do. You’re good to me like that.

  20. I LOVE the retro banner at the top. The colors are perfect!

    I’m such a slug that usually any change in someone’s design is, “Oh no! Don’t do that!” This change however didn’t set off that instinctive alarm. Good job!

  28. what a great surprise! Sassy and chic. I love it. Who cares about the ads, if I click on them a million times do you get more pennies for your piggie bank? Nothing wrong with that. At. All.

    you are the hallmark of the aphorism “brevity is the soul of wit”. your posts are a veritable blogger’s workshop of how-to and, thereby, how-not-to. excelsior!

  40. I just started visiting a week or so (I followed some link from dooce.com a while ago) and I think it’s such a beautiful change. Fun and bright and clean. But I guess you don’t need strangers telling you this.

  43. Yours is the first blog I “knew.” Not knew about, but read regularly. Mighty Girl was introduced to me by a friend and it was so delightful, I thought, predictably, “How delightful.” You’ve got this fabulously inviting style and such a wonderful sense of humor. Not that you don’t know that necessarily, but just wanted you to know that you’re more than simply entertaining. You’re inspiring. Thanks for the constant smiles. And not to be redundant, but it really is a lovely redesign. Congrats!

  45. Couldn’t agree more with Lindsay and treppenwitz. I come for the incisive wit, laser beam analysis and almost-prophetic observation of ordinary dialogue. Oh, and the baby toys at the other site. Well done.
