Welcome to the New Digs

May 7, 2008 in Other Stuff with Comments Off

I’m still unpacking all the boxes, but it feels good to be in the new place. With the help of friends, the site is completely redesigned. If you’re a subscriber and following me through email or a feed reader, you may be interested in stopping by and saying hello. No need to bring housewarming gifts.

There are still a few tweaks to make, but Scott and the Updatable.cc crew helped me move. I’m using WordPress for the first time. I guess it’s a week of major transitions in my e-world.

Welcome to the new digs. Make yourself at home.

    Nice new look and I also love wordpress – if you are a Firefox user, you might be interested in Scribefire. It’s a plugin that allows you to post to your wordpress blog from a popup bar right in firefox. (http://www.scribefire.com/)

  15. michael May 7, 2008 at 2:44 pm #

    The place looks great, you look fairly settled already. Wife and kids feeling at home yet?

    I am going to look around if you don’t mind… hey, is that a pool table?! Anyone for some 9 ball? :)

    The favicon is your face in a cube. Awesome.

    The new site looks superb. I agree with the poster who mentioned there is a lot of stuff to click on. I love an immersive website!

  21. Matt Metzger May 7, 2008 at 1:25 pm #

    Looks great! welcome to using wordpress! you were able to fit a lot of info in a small space in a clear way. well done!

    I kind of liked the old one. This however must be how the old folks at our church feel as we contemplate remodeling the sanctuary.

  23. boyd bettis May 7, 2008 at 2:06 pm #

    looks good. Scott is switching me over to wordpress as well.

  24. Marsha May 7, 2008 at 2:55 pm #

    Wow – BIG letters – is this now an “Over 40 site?”

  25. Daniel Dulaney May 7, 2008 at 5:01 pm #

    Very cool Site Upgrade. I am also digging Jott! Thanks!

  26. Bernard Shuford May 7, 2008 at 7:38 pm #

    Awesome. I just gotta say it again, awesome.

  28. Deneen May 7, 2008 at 10:37 pm #

    I like the new sight…very clean and fresh!

  29. Terrace Crawford May 7, 2008 at 11:14 pm #

    Nicely done. Looks pretty cool around here. Yea, Scott is pimping mine out too. I’ll unveil my new digs soon.

    I think the old site was less fancy but much more reader friendly. new site looks fresher but it’s a harder look. each their own though. Personally I like more white space.

    Love the new spot Tony….

    I’m with Rodge’s comment. I feel like I’ve landed at CNN or Fox News (remember the SNL skit where the host’s face was basically crowded out of the screen by all the runners and boxes?). I understand the need to generate revenue, but having two column next to the meat and potatoes of the blog – the content – is not visually appealing. Content is king, and the two right hand columns take away from the important stuff, the right hand column. Check out how Seth Godin has put together his blog – far more visually appealing (and I don’t mean the colors or fonts, I like your colors). If you are 100% committed to a 2 extra column system, check out how Tim Challies has done it challies.com and you’ll see what I would say is a far easier on the eyes/less obtrusive approach.

    umm…yeah…that should say the important stuff is the LEFT hand column.

    bad brain, bad brain!
