I find the left side pop out thing a little annoying or not necesary with most of them already listed in ‘spread the love’ and ‘keep in touch’ sections up top. other than that I appreciate the clean design. looks good!
Hi Karen, Thanks for checking things out! Glad you like the new design, I will see about eliminating the left side social share pop up. I appreciate the suggestion!
I would suggest moving the Latest Posts toward the top. I visit the sight daily looking for new posts and I just noticed the Latest Posts section after scrolling down far enough. Perhaps giving Latest Posts a tab in the top menu bar?
I do appreciate that there is no longer an immediate pop-up to sign up for emails.
Love the site, thanks for your work.
Thanks Robert, I will work on that. I appreciate the comment!
Looks good to me. Maybe a logo in the top bar?
Hi Prepper Press, Good call, I am actually working on a logo 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
The new design looks good but it appears that all past reader comments have disappeared. Too bad. So sad.
Sorry.. There were some mishaps along the way and the blog had to be restored from a previous saved version. A few articles and some Comments were lost.
Overall, looks good. You might want to either move the post article comments section closer to the end of the article or put a sentence at the end of the article that welcomes remarks about the article and directs the reader’s attention lower on the page. That way, everyone will understand they can comment on the article they just read.
Hi Dan, Thanks for checking things out! I appreciate the suggestions and will try to get those changes made.
It’s always good to freshen up a bit. I’m a Graphic Designer by trade for the last 20 years. I have my opinions about the redesign (Mostly good, I’ll have you know) but what’s most important Arte 2 things: Does it communicate what you want — and do YOU like it? Keep up the great work. I’ve added friends and family to your FB mpage, and keep up with your great tips, even though we no longer live in the Houston Heights cramped boxes we used to call home.
Hi Joseph, Thanks for checking out the new design, as well as referring friends and family! I always welcome suggestions if you have any, please feel free to share in the comments, FB or send me an email. I appreciate the comments.
