New Design~

October 25, 2016

Welcome to the new Smithellaneous!

I have been wanting to make a change for quite a while but always got instantly overwhelmed  every time I started to do anything about it.  Hiring a a designer to design and redo everything for me would have cost at least $250 which I didn’t have. Doing it myself would have cost me more of my sanity than I could afford to lose.

Happily, I found a middle ground with a designer who does pre-made theme templates and also (oh joy of joys) includes in her price the transferring of the old theme to the new.  I designed the header myself and then for a mere $49, Kotryna Bass waved her impressively techincally expert wand and made all the complicated, behind-the-scenes things happen.

Happy, happy day!

I am celebrating by posting one of the favorite pictures I’ve ever taken–a lovely photo for a lovely new blog. Enjoy!

      Stefanie,

      Thank you–I’m pretty pleased with it, especially since I didn’t have to spend a load of money on it. You know how I love my thrifty bargains!

  2. Chase says:

    I love the new look.

      Thank you, Chase. After putting a lot of work into something, it’s always nice to hear from people who appreciate the effort and the result!

    So cool.

    New and improved!

  5. Levelle says:

    The new layout is very pretty! But the first thing that I noticed was the slogan change. :O You can go ahead and change it but I will always think of you in terms of your glass 😉

    • Becky says:

      Levelle,

      I know, right? 🙂 I really struggled with whether to leave the old slogan or come up with a new one. I love that the new one honors my terrific readers but I feel nostalgic about the old one, too.

    This is wonderful. You are so talented!!!

  7. Jan Reuther says:

    This looks so wonderful, for a moment I was tempted to re-do my own web site. But don’t worry….I’m over it. 😉

    I like the white! I like the way you praise your readers! The judges give it a 9.8. (It would have been higher, but the Russian judge was being nasty.)

    • Becky says:

      Jan,

      So honored to get a 9.8 from the judges. Fortunately, they were not having to judge my uneven bars routine.

      And thank you for mentioning the fact that the new slogan honors my readers. That is exactly what I wanted to do–you guys are the best!

    Love it Becky. Just keep writing for us. God bless

    • Becky says:

      Gail,

      Don’t worry. I plan to keep writing . . . and writing . . . and writing. (As long as you guys promise to keep reading!)

    Looks so good! I love how “clean” it looks! http://www.lovebeinganonny.com

    • Becky says:

      Nonny, (that’s the name I always think of you as when I read your blog.) 🙂

      I love the clean look, too. Uncluttered and peacerful. Ahhhh . . .

  10. Mel says:

    Love the look.
