My New Design

UPDATE: I'm not sure why my blog looks all wonky in Firefox but bear with me while we figure it out. *sigh*

So? What do you think? I know- COMPLETELY different, huh? I wanted a layout that I could make my pictures larger ('cause one day I will have a DSLR) and I wanted less to look at when viewing my blog. I think there are still a few more tweaks- my blog designer, Amber, has been working her fingers to the bone for me even though I won the makeover and am not actually paying her. I was P.I.C.K.Y.

So? Be honest. But nice.

Oooh! Purty!

I love how it is so clean and your pictures look awesome at the top. And your button matches :)

Love it!

Even if you are being a stinkbutt and beating my pants off in the BOB Round Two :P

Shell said...

Looks great!

Jenny Diane said...

I like it a lot!!! Love the header! I still need some help on my blog but its getting there. Would Amber make me a button? How do they do it :) Hope you are doing great!

Rachel said...

Umm... where are you and Chris? I mean, beside the obvious you and me with guns? :)

Shannon said...

I like it... I did LOVE the saying you had at the top before, though! I know it's still there, but not as obvious! :)

Emma said...

I like it a lot....really need to take a look at making my blog cool ;-)

Screwed Up Texan said...

Looks like it's going to be a winner. I use FF exclusively, so I sent you an email.

Ann @ Momma's Soapbox said...

Looks good. I like the simplicity of it.

Michelle Hoad said...

I love it. Although if you look at mine, I am a big fan of white backgrounds also. The colorful backgrounds are fun, but I get bored with them quickly. Plus, the white background really puts the emphasis on your pictures.

like it...very clean and polished looking!!
perhaps I need Amber?

Kmama said...

Awesome. I love it. I had to jump on over to IE to see it in all it's glory.

Good job Amber!

Bridgette said...

I LOVE it!!!

Semi-Slacker Mom said...

Looks great! I love the Alice Mitchell comment!

Deciduous Heather said...

Awesome! It looks great, fresh and clean...just in time for Spring! I like the header, the boys' faces are just popping off and all so gorgeous! Nothing wrong with being picky IMHO!

And, no thankfully I did not have to wake Karsen...I called my Dad. He lives about 20 min away and got here in 16 min to stay with her.

Thanks for always visiting me.
:)

Jane Anne said...

Honestly? I love it. It is easy to look at. Sometimes blogs that are too busy (have too many graphics or colors) irritate me. I love your new look!

Jen@Scrapingirl said...

Whoa!! I was a bit shocked. But I like the clean look.

Mama4Real said...

Looks great! I love it!

Robyn{Lee} said...

Very nice : ) I wish my middle section was bigger as I want to make my pics bigger too. Looks good : )

Jennifer W. said...

Love the new header...but I think I'm not seeing it right. Maybe I need to log off and try again. The post and comments are to the left and all your stuff is at the bottom. Is that the way it's supposed to look?

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

Love the header.

Emily said...

I am LOVING it...even in Firefox. People look at your blog daily (or if you're like me, stalk you several times a day! J/K!) so it's worth it to be picky! ;)

Tina said...

Oooh girl! I love it! The pictures just pop off the page!

Karie Lee said...

FAB-U-LOUS!

Kmama said...

Just logging on with safari and as of right now (10:22 p.m. EST) it looks perfect.

Michelle Pixie said...

Loving your header!

Jen said...

I like it! It looks very clean. I might have to check out her link...

He & Me + 3 said...

I LOVE IT! Truly. Your header is so cute.

Tara G. said...

I like the clean look a lot! Great job, Amber!

Dan said...

Call me a curmudgeon - but I seldom look at the actual website and its design. Reader rules! {*grin*}

Key is whether *you* like the design. After all, you can tell us to take a hike. {*grin*]

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

Ooooh, I love it! I've been thinking a lot about a blog makeover, myself. I'm getting tired of all the pink, and I REALLY need to get a different header since Kameryn has been part of our family for, oh, almost 13 months now! Crisp and clean. I love it, love it!

Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma said...

Oh I love it! Great color choices! I have been itching to redo mine too. Just not sure how yet.

Kelli @ RTSM said...

It looks perfect now:) I had checked it out yesterday and it looked all wonky with everything at the bottom instead of on the side...but now it looks great:) I love the new header and your button is SUPER cute!

Ashley T said...

I like it! Stupid Firefox! I use it too and it looks just a lttle bit off but I still like it. Good job!

Marybeth Poppins said...

I like it!

Dana-from chaos to Grace said...

I LIKE it!! OF course, I liked the other one too. LOL But I like seeing your handsome boys up top like that! And it's very simple and clean!

Alyssa said...

I love the new blog look. I so need a makeover. I'm not a fan of Botox, though, or stitches. Was it painful?

Kari @ p.s. love.love. said...

Very, very cool! I really like the photo header! Very clean lined! Perfect.

I use firefox and it looks fine.
