...time for change?

the old design

Ladies and Gents, after 2 years of blogging with the same look, I felt it was time for a change.

I am hesitating a little, however. I actually grew quite attached to my old design. It started the boom of my blog design career. I had many generous readers offer me compliments, which always makes the heart grow fonder. But sometimes designs need to be updated, and I felt Sherbet Blossom's 2nd blogiversary would be the perfect time to do it. (I did save the old template though, so if you all hate it and want the old design back, it can happen.)

I wanted the new site to look more friendly and welcoming. Less cluttered and more simple. I wanted the focus to be on the post's content, not on the background or design.

I also added the linkwithin button. I think it is kind of fun, but please let me know if you prefer the blog without it. Never-mind! I decided linkwithin was annoying and took it off.

    It's super cute. Loved your old design too though. I don't care for the linkwithin but I realize it is because i have read all your posts and it is probably pretty helpful and fun for new visitors to search through your site this way. Fun stuff!

    This is too funny- I am in the process of changing around my blog to something that lays out pretty close to this. But it's going to take me quite a while to get it done. I LOVE this. Change is always good. I wish I lived closer- I need to hire you for real...

    I like the sidebar on the new one but i really like the header on the old blog. This one is nice but I just enjoy the simple look on the old one.

    I love it. I haven't been here in a couple of days and when I just stopped by, I said to myself,"Whoa, it's different."

    Sometimes change is good.
