A new day, a new way ...

... but the inspiration stays the same! After almost 3 years we have changed home. Kim and I are so excited. We've changed a few things, added more pages and made it so much easier to find your way around the blog. (Hello previous pages!!!!) Welcome to our new home. Hope you like the layout. Look up above. You'll find tabs to take you all sorts of places. That's our feed subscription to the right. (Don't forget to re-subscribe as our old blogspot address just won't bring you all the new room porn we'll be posting here.) Page loading should be so much easier especially for our readers in areas of the globe without great internet connection (5 posts a page, not too many pictures to load). And speaking of pages. Look! Down below ... pages! Yes I'm so excited. Can't you tell I'm not a computer geek?  Head to our labels section, click on a label and every post we've ever done with that label will appear, page after page. It sounds so simple but we've never had that before. I'm like a kid in a candy store with our new blog and hopefully you'll feel the same. Take a look around, take it for a test drive. We'll be back with WINKS soon.

Congrats! Awesome update; yay for pagination!!!
However CHANGE THE LINK COLOR!!!!
So unreadable, and I am a 26 yr old with perfectly fine eyesight.

However, maybe just make the background of links a little bit darker grey.. just to up the contract. Might look really cool actually

I agree with you Yeye. I just changed them to a lighter grey than the regular text so they still stand out a bit.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Jo & Kim,

The site looks AMAZING! The background texture is great - do you know what it is? Oh the joy of being able to go back through entries!!! I can't wait.

Love the look. Here's to a new chapter in what will be a long and illustrious blogging!

:)

PS. How can someone be included in your blogroll?

Congrats gilrs on the new site but i think the Alex Perry collection is a mess and almost impossible to work with.

Hallo, your site looks very nice again. It's just that when you watch it through Firefox, the top of the head is totally missing - I only see the bottoms of the letters in the word "inspire". Please check it out, and try to fix it. It works ok in Internet Explorer.

8 Nov 2009 | Unregistered Commentermribaro

it looks great! love the new make-over! Going to spend some time looking around. Congrats!

mribano, I use Firefox (I think Jo does too) and the banner is displaying properly for us, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

Time to delurk so I can say: Well done you!

I like the "remodel" very much and, while I'm at it... yeah, I should mention I love your blog!

Beautiful. Well done. And does Squarespace not rock the shizzocks?
