Calling it Done

So happy the blog makeover is finished! It’s been slowly tweaked and tucked the past couple of weeks, but it’s at a place where I can happily walk away from it. Ryan is the superstar that coded the theme, so if any of you are in need of web programming, holler, as he’s always up for freelance.

In addition to a new, super-fat footer, there is a Popular Posts category in my sidebar. Also new is a Superhero Party FAQ section at the bottom of the original post.

And thank you all for leaving comments and reposting my downloads. It really does make my day, and I always enjoy meeting new blogging friends. : )

    I love the fresh new look. I may need to hire Ryan for a design of my blog.

    Veronica: Thanks for saying hi! I follow your Tumblr blog, so for some reason, that makes me feel better that you were the Goldie that pointed out my great blogging moment.

    Michelle + Little Lovables: I miss seeing my family’s pic up there too. I’m just in this kick right now where everything I design must be super minimalist, almost stark!

    Thanks, Lisa!

    Joanna: I kind of snatched the popular post idea from Mint’s blog. Although she designed some really nice buttons while I took the lazy way out with just links.

    Kiwi: Let us know; Ryan is in love with WordPress right now.

    Looks fab – love the simplicity & of course, the gray. You have inspired me to redesign my blog, which has been a long time coming. Yay for coding husbands!!! We would be lost without them.

    Hey Jenn! Just checked out your mammoth footer, hehe. I actually love it though because it’s always so tedious to scroll through tons of sidebar stuff. Anyway… I changed our blog address a while ago, so here’s the current one! Hope you all are doing well :).
