The new template is live - though we’re still tweaking in the background. If you see any major errors, kindly send me an email at contact [at] emomsathome.com, por favor. But there were just some things I couldn’t get done until it was up on my server, so expect a little strangeness on the new pages for the next few hours…

There’s a ton of new content up, and on the way. I’ll roll out the official announcement to let you know what’s new once I ensure everything is working properly…

Whoa. The new design threw me for a moment. I’ve only had a quick look, but I’m really liking it so far. It feels more organized or something. Good job!

2. On February 26th, 2007 at 8:31 pm, Wendy said:

Lornadoone, that’s the perfect thing I had hoped to hear! I was going for the organized look - too much content was getting missed. Thank you!

3. On February 26th, 2007 at 10:00 pm, Busy Mom said:

It’s very nice, I like the clean design!

4. On February 26th, 2007 at 10:24 pm, Rick Cockrum said:

The new design feels a lot cleaner and lighter, Wendy. Thumbs up! I’m gonna miss your kids, though.

5. On February 26th, 2007 at 10:46 pm, Leah Maclean said:

Well done Wendy! A nice clean design and I love the whitespace. A few too many ads for my personal liking but I am happy to read your posts in my feed reader and avoid these

6. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:01 pm, Wendy said:

Thanks everyone! Sorry, Leah, since I try to help others make money with their blogs, I kind of have to do that too.

But the ads will be getting tweaked over the next couple of days when I get my new ad tracking program up and running (and I figure out how to use the darn thing!)

7. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:04 pm, katiebird said:

Good Job, Wendy! I really like it. You’ve got a good use of color and white space. And as has been said, it’s very well organized.

(I don’t want to scare you but the tweaking never stops…)

8. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:08 pm, Wendy said:

Oh, KB, do I EVER know that one!!

9. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:16 pm, KWiz said:

What a nice template. Not cluttered. And you used the colors you had before, so it doesn’t throw folks for too much of a loop. It fits well!

10. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:34 pm, Steve Johnson said:

It’s bright, I like it! I’m with Rick, though — your kids added a little…personalization, I think.

11. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 pm, katiebird said:

(whispering) Could you make the link to BlogJolt a little more visible? I’ve never bookmarked it (I always go there from here.) And I can’t find it. (feeling lost)

12. On February 26th, 2007 at 11:56 pm, Wendy said:

OK, for everyone, the BlogJolt is now under “Get Link Love”.

And for all of you that miss my kids, don’t worry. I’ll probably take some pictures of them and slip them into the template here and there… they are too dang cute to not be in the spotlight!

Gosh that was a very motherly thing to say… !

13. On February 27th, 2007 at 2:11 am, Darren said:

Nice work Wendy nice and clean with plenty of action links at the top - great stuff.

14. On February 27th, 2007 at 8:03 am, Kendra said:

Hey Wendy, the new design is looking good! One thing though, your ‘About’ page is not working.

15. On February 27th, 2007 at 8:38 am, Dan and Jennifer said:

Hey Wendy,

Looking good!

Your new design really got us thinking - and we’re going to follow your lead and make our template wider too.

Currently we’ve got a lot of wasted space on the sides, which means lots of stuff (per Darren - like your great action links/banners above) COULD BE ABOVE THE FOLD!

Have fun debugging. And don’t forget the “subscribe to comments” - I was so pleasantly surprised what an incrase in comments we saw after installing that and the “Top Commentators” plugins.

Have an awesome day!
Dan

16. On February 27th, 2007 at 8:59 am, Dawud Miracle said:

Hey Wendy. I really like it. While I only know you from your blog and the comments you’ve left on mine, I can sense that this design is more you. Important, I feel. Nice work. See you soon.

17. On February 27th, 2007 at 9:04 am, Frank Roche said:

Hi Wendy,

Your new design is spiffy and clean…I really like it. Nicely done!

18. On February 27th, 2007 at 10:16 am, Easton Ellsworth said:

Snap, this design rocks Wendy. How much sleep did you lose over it?

19. On February 27th, 2007 at 10:19 am, Wendy said:

Don’t ask, Easton, don’t ask.

In fact, check this article to see what I’ve put my poor kids through over the last couple of weeks!

I need a vacation - bad!

20. On February 27th, 2007 at 10:24 am, Barb said:

I’ve been waiting to see the new design and I, like the others, enjoy it. I also liked the pictures of your kids and am glad to see you’ll be getting some in.

21. On February 27th, 2007 at 5:18 pm, Maki said:

I like the design. Clean 3-columns have always been a favorite of mine. Great job!

22. On February 28th, 2007 at 4:10 am, Jason Kemp said:

Looks good!

23. On February 28th, 2007 at 9:47 am, Jennifer said:

This looks great. Very clean and fast. I really like the 3 columns.
