Hi everyone – like the new look?
Yeah, I know it loads slower than a child walking to bed when there’s fireworks and pony rides outside. I can’t figure out why. It loaded so quickly when I saw other people’s versions of the template. Figures.
I’m no expert at this, so you’ll probably see some tinkering over the next week. In addition to being a Domestic Zero, I’m apparently not-so-hot in the technical field, either.
Don’t worry, I won’t be doing this for anyone else anytime soon. Because with the amount of time I’ve put into screwing around with this template, and photoshop editing, and finding a background that’s passable-but-not-quite-right, I’d probably have to charge $9,280. And that’s assuming minimum wage per hour.
So if anything looks out of whack, let me know. If you care to share thoughts, I’d love to hear them, too. But only if they’re positive, OK? This was my first attempt at template re-design, and I’d like to someday try again instead of forking over money I don’t have to someone else.
Looks good. Like the cardinal. Bleak but hopeful?
I love it! And it wasn’t slow loading at all – I use the latest version of I.E. Keep it up!
I love it, it looks really great!
I like how it looks! It didn’t load particularly slowly for me.
I like the new look. And the cardinal too. Load time was fine for me in Firefox.
i like it too. very sophisticated, actually.
and the load time was very quick.
Nice. 🙂 It was slow for me, but then again I have “Skippy the WOnderMac” whose days are numbered…
I’m glad it’s loading quickly for many of you. It’s loading super fast in IE6 for me, but still slow in Firefox. Ah well, can’t have everything, right?
Beautiful work, darlin! Did you know cardinals mate for life?
Pretty! I love it.
I like it. Very different. The load time isn’t bad for me either. If you want, I offer my free technical input.
I really like it–I love cardinals and never see them now that I live in CO
I love it! The brown is beautiful.
Even if you weren’t pleading for positive comments, I’d still be giving you one. It looks fabulous. Without you telling me there are technical difficulties, I wouldn’t have noticed at all. It loads just fine for me.
clean,fresh,professional! i love it!
It looks great and EXPENSIVE…like $9280 expensive!
Oh, crap! I love it! And it loaded very quickly for me.
Great job!
It loaded just fine for me! Looks nice. LEt me know where you did it at. I am looking for a different layout for mine, too. WithOUT the cost, either!
Loaded quickly for me and it is very cute. 🙂
I do the same thing, btw. Spend eleventy-million hours working on my own redesign instead of paying someone else. But I kind of enjoy the process… and don’t you feel so proud of it!? 🙂
Looks great! Didn’t load any slower for me than your last design. I love that picture, by the way. That’s on your Twitter page, too, right?
Nice work!
It looks great, although I do miss the Amazon Warrior Princess 🙂
I’ve really been wanting to re-vamp my blog and maybe move it back to Blogger, but I just can’t get up the energy to do it. So you’re my hero for biting the bullet!
It’s a new, fresh look! Very red. Like the contrasting nature of the cardinal against the snow. Will you be following up with new headers for each season? (No pressure or anything…!)
If you need help a la photoshop, let me know. You got my email. I don’t know too much about html writing, but found the layouts version in blogger was really easy to work with and make fun widgets with my own designs in photoshop. Your new look is inspiring me. I need a new look for EP. It’s getting too old.
Hey your new blog design is in your wedding colors! But I guess you probbly knew that 🙂
looking good… and loaded fast.
Wow, it’s really beautiful. I really like the layout. Someday I’ll do something like this too.
I think it looks great….
