New layout!

Posted by Janine on 22 Jan 2015 in blog

Hello all!

You may have noticed that this blog has looked weird recently, or has just been inaccessible. Sorry about that. I have been having problems. Hopefully everything should be back to normal soon.

In the meantime, this seemed like a good opportunity to revamp the blog. If this new layout looks a little ugly (see: really tiny text), it's because this time I couldn't be bothered to alter the template layout too much. (It is a fraught process at the best of times.) But there should also be some useful new features about, like the search box, which should make this better for everyone.

Some changes you will notice:
- Comments will require my approval before they go live. (This is an attempt to reduce spam.)
- The profile, gallery and links pages are no more. Basically, all the profile and links info fitted quite nicely into the sidebar. And as for the gallery, I don't think any of us believe I draw much anymore; the lack of activity on that page was getting embarrassing.

If you're wondering about the header image, it's a photo from my lovely Suffolk holiday a couple of years ago.

Laters! Actual proper content should be coming soon-ish.

I LOVE YOUR NEW LAYOUT. LOVE IT.

That photo is super-beautiful, also too.
Everything seems to be working pretty well for me, and the text looks fine (I gave up on editing Blogger’s stupid templates, whatever, it’s impossible). I approve!

Thank you so much, also, for your kind-hearted linkage. I really appreciate it.

Looking forward to new content, too. Hooray!

Oh my God. I’ve found one thing that doesn’t work! I’m not getting email notifications when I get a comment! I just went to check for spam and I found two comments by you I’M SO SORRY I’M NOT IGNORING YOU I PROMISE.

I’m glad you like the layout! The perfectionist in me would rather change some things, but the realist in me says that maybe this’ll make it easier to update the blog software next time.

And no problem for the linkage. I only put up websites I enjoy enough check regularly. Ok, so I only actually check Duskglass.net when you say there’s new content, as I imagine it doesn’t change often. If I am completely wrong with that assumption LET ME KNOW because I don’t want to miss anything. Everything on that website is golden.

Um. New content here will arrive when I find some time and stop procrastinating also. (I am making my guilty face right now.)
