So???? What do you think? (If you’re reading through a feed reader, you MUST click through — I’ve done a massive blog reno.)<\/p>\n
Mad props to Nikki at Design Coyote<\/a> (and also at Snailbird.com<\/a>) who managed to give me what I wanted instead of what I asked for.<\/p>\n I was originally going to upload the Evening Stars theme from her free themes page<\/a> when, on a lark, I sent her a query on the cost of a custom design. She was very reasonable, both in the rate she charged and in tolerating endless requests for minute adjustments (“Oh, but what if we tried the font in this colour? And what if we moved this over here just 15 pixels or so…”) and after a bit of back-and-forth and a bit more tinkering on my part, I’m thrilled to present it to you!<\/p>\n It’s a big change, I know, but I really wanted something with two sidebars, something that was playful and yet not childish, something that was fluid width instead of fixed-width, and something that gave props to my 365 project. I think she did a great job!<\/p>\n Please do let me know if you have any trouble with the design or the pages loading. For some reason, my previous design started loading really slowly recently, so another one of my criteria was a faster load. And, on our desktop there’s a scrollbar across the bottom because the display is a little bit too wide, but I don’t have that on the laptop and it doesn’t seem to interfere with the display of any of the content. I’ve checked it in IE, Firefox and Safari.<\/p>\n So, really — what do you think???? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So???? What do you think?
