Ta-da!

by on August 30, 2006 in This is life

A new design, a new blogging platform, and new server. I hope you like it. Obviously it’s not complete – I still need to re-arrange all the side bar information. I wanted to change from Typepad to WordPress for some time now. At the same time, all the clean and sterile WordPress templates just weren’t “me”. I had Lisa from E.Webscapes design the new look for me. I didn’t want to waste a lot of time fiddling around with the design of a blogging platform I didn’t understand (yet). In the past, I found that I tended to spend more time fooling around with templates than actually blogging.

I’m leaving for Phuket tonight with Raswan. We’ve never been to the major beach tourist areas of Thailand, and I was curious to see it. It’s going to be a 12 hour bus ride! We just went by a pharmacy to try and get sleeping pills for the ride down. Maybe it’s just the language barrier, but this is what I heard the pharmacist say, “I can’t sell you sleeping pills, but we have tranquilizers.” We kept moving.

    Hey,

    Brian (Dean) keeps telling me stories about your website, so I decided to see it for myself. Good stories. Tell Raswan I said ‘hey’.

    What a pretty page!! The colors and design really compliment each other, as well as your writing.

    Looking forward to more posts from Thailand . . .

    The new title page is lovely and feminine and, as other readers have noted, is also a serene companion to your charming prose style. The former title design’s palm beach seascape did, however, beautifully communicate your blog’s sheer joy of adventure, discovery and enchantment. Warmest Aloha.

    …I had the most fabulous time working on lao ocean girl’s blog project. She had some very nifty ideas on the color scheme she wanted, along with the layout and overall feel of her new blog design. …
