Hey, look – I got another project completed…
Admittedly this one was a bit humorous the whole time I was working on it – the idea that this goofy, little blog about pumpkins that I threw together a couple of years ago on a whim while I was up to my neck in wedding planning stress is still going strong as it now approaches over 100 posts (a lot for a seasonal blog, anyways), even more so to the point where it finally became time to actually give the theme a bit of a redesign! Don’t forget, it used to look like this:
For what it’s worth, I like the new design a whole lot, to the point where it’s actually making me start to feel a little more confident in my ability as a web designer (more on that in a separate post here in a minute). I was really happy with the color scheme and how everything flows together, and I even was able to fit more ads in than I was originally expecting without having them take away from the look. I also finally got around to throwing a Google Analytics tracker on it, which has frankly floored me in the last week and a half with what I can only possibly assume has got to be seasonal traffic, but I guess it doesn’t make much sense to complain about a surprising amount of traffic to one’s website…
…even if it is just a goofy, little pumpkin blog!
