Redesign

August 27th, 2010

So the site redesign went off without a hitch last night. I hope everyone likes it. I took a lot of time with this one trying to figure out what was really useful and what was just clutter in the last design. One of the new features I’ve added is an email subscription for those of you who aren’t into RSS.

Another major change is that I got rid of the ads. I’m not saying I’ll never put ads back on the site, but for now I don’t think they’re necessary. I do have an area in the sidebar where I’ll be making recommendations for sites that are either a really good cause that I want to support or a site that I think you would like or benefit from. First up in the recommendations is St. Jude Children’s Hospital. I’ve been blessed with the greatest little 4 year old on the planet (sorry if you thought your kid was better… you’re wrong) and I can’t imagine going through some of the fights that families of sick kids go through. Anything that can be done to prevent that is well worth it, so I hope you’ll consider supporting St. Jude’s.

Also, don’t forget that next week begins the three-strips-a-week run here. Wish me luck!
