I felt like the old ShyScout layout was becoming too cluttered and busy which detracted from the posts. I hope the cleaner look will help solve those problems.
Incase you forgot what the old layout looked like (or you are a new reader - in that case hello there!) here it is:
While I liked bits and pieces of it, it was time for a change. What do you think of the new layout? Anything you would like to see changed? I am open to constructive criticism. Is there anyway to add another column on google friend connect since they discontinued it? I also need to work on updating my buttons...but that is a project for another day.
I will have to put Thrifted Thursday on hold until I get my camera back. In the mean time I will work on some more thrifting, haha, you don't have to twist my arm!
It looks so nice. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Deletenice, i like the cat/ dog illustration, it it is like little toys you talk about in some of your posts. nice new photo too. sigh i really need to clean up my blog look too, the background is probably really distracting.
ReplyDelete:] I do love cutesy strange toys so I guess it is a good fit, haha. Blogs can have fun, vibrant patterns, etc. I just felt like I was getting lost in my own is all.
