Normally I don’t post anyting on the weekend. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I did a weekend post. With traffic tending to be lower on the weekends, and with everyone, including myself, wanting to do more than read blogs, I tend to avoid posting on the weekend, but I thought this one was good enough to post about. Sure, it is for selfish reasons, but hey, it’s my blog right?
I have been working over the last few days to give the site a little different look. I have been thinking that it needed something, but I just wasn’t sure what it was. Well, I finally came across a few little photo editing tips that I liked and lo-and-behold, I actually like how the results turned out.
90% of the pictures on the site were taken by some member of my family, and we take great pride in that. I always try to have the pictures, and the way the site looks, to reflect who we are, and not just succumb to some “look”. I think that we’ve done a good job accomplishing that.
You may also have noticed that the font changed on the site. I was really bored with the other one, and just really felt like it needed something, so I recruited my font expert (my wife) and picked a nice looking and much more eye appealing font. It’s called Georgia and we like it. It is kind of like Times New Roman on steroids.
I also added some Googe Adsense ads back to the site. I had some on it for awhile, but at that time they just weren’t generating any revenue to even make it worth it. I’m going to give it another shot, now that we generate a little more traffic, but if they don’t do any good they will be coming back down again.
So, hopefully the site is a little more pleasing to the eye, and hopefully Blessed isn’t too hard on it, with her graphic design knowledege. I’m an amateur, so hopefully she goes easy on me.
I promise much more exciting posts come Monday. By then we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming–so to speak.
