New Life, New Blog Theme

I know, I know. I’m supposed to be packing up my life for the big cross-country move to Portland at the end of the week.

But last night, whilst enjoying one of my last Midwest beers, I came down with a case of the makeovers. The blog makeover.

I tried on many different themes like I was at a boot blowout sale. There were some contenders, but one finally fit just right. Comfy, but sassy.

The social media icons were more of an ordeal, like trying on a bathing suit after an unforgiving winter…pasty buns and all. What started madly last night came to a peaceful conclusion this morning when I discovered some cheerful, stitched buttons that I could be friends with.

So I would like to present to you…my foxy new look! Take a gander and let me know what you think.

Alright, damnit. Back to packaging tape, bubble wrap, and more boxes!

Great new look – very streamline and the header photo is fun! And I’ve never seen the stitching-like social media icons before: cute 🙂

  I didn’t even notice the stitching, Letizia! Nice catch.
  
  I’m assuming, Britt, that those go with this theme?

    Vintage modern cool- just like Britt herself 🙂

      Oh, you stop it! *blushing*
  2. Britt Skrabanek March 25, 201410:30 am Reply
    
    Nope, I wish they came with. The icons were snatched up from one of those free icon finder websites. Then I had to do use a text widget and use some basic HTML. : )

  Thanks, honey! I’ve never seen those stitched wonders before, but I thought they were insanely cute.

I love it, Britt – very clean and easy to navigate. I’m glad you didn’t go for a dark background – I can never read those. Good work 😀
1. Britt Skrabanek March 25, 201410:29 am Reply
  
  Thanks, Dianne! Yeah, those dark backgrounds are tough to navigate. Especially for us writers, the clean canvas is key to show off our snappy words. : )

Now THOSE are some boots!
1. Britt Skrabanek March 25, 201410:31 am Reply
  
  LOL! These are my tame pair.

    🙂 They look like some pretty fancy kickers to me. ‘Course, I have no fashion sense. My wife and kids buy most of my clothes.

I like it and those boots are great!
1. Britt Skrabanek March 25, 201410:31 am Reply
  
  Thanks, Dannie! These boots are getting some serious attention.

New theme fever has definitely hit the blogosphere! I like it – and especially those boots ‘n’ buttons 🙂

  Spring renewal, right? Thanks, sweetness! The boots and buttons are blushing.

Love the kinky boots. Good to freshen everything up now and again I agree.

  Ha! I already said these are my tame pair. A makeover was imperative to go with the move!
