New Look

by @scottmarlowe 10/22/2009 7:14:00 PM

Every once in a while it's a good idea to freshen up the ol' web site/blog. Truth be told, that light blue background has been bothering me for some time now, but every time I tried to swap out the color I just couldn't find the right one. I was trying to go with a darker blue, and it kept coming out too… purple.

But last week I had sort of an epiphany. The layout, color scheme, and an overwhelming desire to simplify all hit me at once. Next thing I know, I've got a new look for the site.

The overall layout is more or less the same, except I cleaned some things up, took out the "About Me" section, and added a new "Bookshelf" section to highlight what I am currently reading.

Here are the old and new looks, for purposes of my own nostalgia if nothing else.

New look:

(Hopefully the menu bar color looks darkish red; it's actually CSS brown… doesn't look brown to me, but I like it)

Old look:

Much improved, I think.

Hi there. When I'm not writing posts like this one I'm writing novels. Like fantasy adventure? Want to help keep my hungry dogs fed? Then why not pick up one of my novels? My dogs (and me) will be eternally grateful.

If you like, you can sign-up to receive an email when my next book comes out. For a limited time, you'll get a free eBook (EPUB or MOBI/Kindle) version of the 2nd edition of The Hall of the Wood, due out in June 2013, just for signing up.
