Notice Anything Different?
June 30, 2017
Yup, the blog redesign is finally here. I hope you like it.
I’ve done my best to make everything change over smoothly,
but you know how that goes. I expect there will be glitches here and
there, so if something doesn’t work for you, please let me know.
Here’s a tour of the new features:
Up at the top, you’ll see a blue bar with some text—for now,
there’s a new About page, as well as a Home button. I plan to add more pages in
the future. To the right of the text is a little search icon. Click on it, and
plug in your search term if you want to look for something specific here on the
blog.
On the sidebar to the right, you’ll see:
- A new profile photo of yours truly (finally!)
- The blog archive
- A list of popular posts
You’ll also find a new way to subscribe to posts via email,
and when you do, you’ll also be on the mailing list for the brand new Happy
Little Thoughts newsletter. In
addition, I have a little gift for anyone who joins my email list: “30 Days of
Happy”—a free printable I made just for you listing a month’s worth of simple
pleasures and everyday adventures. All you have to do is sign up for email
updates. (I promise I will not sell or share your email with anyone else.)
After each post, you’ll see a row of icons linked to social
media, as well as one that allows you to leave a comment. If something I’ve
written inspires, touches, or motivates you, or even if you disagree with me
completely, I want to hear from you. I’d also appreciate it if you’d share my
posts with anyone you think might enjoy them—let’s spread the word about simple
pleasures and everyday adventures!
Catching Happiness is a labor of love for me, and I hope it
will be a place inspiration and happiness for you. So let’s go indulge in many
more simple pleasures and everyday adventures together!
P.S. I would be remiss if I didn’t publicly thank my friend and partner in adventure, Laure Ferlita, for her help in this redesign. She walked me through a number of the steps, was instrumental in the production of the new header you see above, and patiently listened to my many rants as I picked my way through this process. I couldn’t have done it without her.

ReplyDeleteWell done, you! It looks wonderful and all your hard work is now made visible for all of us to enjoy.
Thanks! As you well know, it's been quite the process, and there are still bugs to work out, but all in all I'm pleased.
ReplyDeleteSuper new look Kathy. Love the clean feel too. Congratulations on finishing this project. So nice Laure was able to help you as well. Have a great weekend - Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Debbie. It feels so good to have this done, and I really couldn't have done it without Laure--or at least, I couldn't have done it the way I wanted to without her help.
ReplyDeleteLove your new look, especially the lovely header. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Cheryl! It's deceptively simple looking... But I'm sure, as an artist, you know all about that!
