As some of the more observant among you (and those who saw Sarah’s quite frankly, brilliant spamming on Twitter last night) ceriselle.org finally has a new look, after so many years (not even a joke, ugh) of procrastination.
I was getting annoyed with myself for always putting off a rehaul of the site, so asked Laura Kalbag to work her magic. We talk via Twitter quite a bit, so she knew the sorts of things I like. (Actually, is it really news to anyone who’s read my blog or followed me on Twitter to know I like tea and shoes?
Laura asked me some questions about what I wanted, and came up with the logo above (which you can’t fully see with the layout, but it’s really awesome!)
The separator images (like the one above, and between each blog post) shows things a bit clearer. There are shoes, buttons and cups of tea in the curly bits (technical term)
The new layout is much neater to me, and a lot of the crap that was lurking in the side bar has gone. Why did I need to have a full list of archive pages on the side? Why were the WordPress login info details there (when I have it bookmarked on every computer, know the URL, and have WordPress’ app on my iPhone and iPad?) It also means that I can have nice big images to show things off more!
Now I have such a gorgeous site, there’s no excuse for not blogging. Oh. Sorry about that.
Laura says
Really pleased you like the design! I really enjoyed making it. I so rarely get to do anything girly :(
Hayley says
I really love it! Boo to not having girly ones though. Maybe include a bit of pink or shoes in the next design.
(Yes, I’m replying to see what happens as well ;))

Check you out fancy pants!! Man I wish I knew how to fancify myself.
