Woot! Woot! I’m proud to present the new Eat Laugh Purr! I hope you love it as much as I do. There are some things that still need tweaking, as usual. But overall, I’m very happy with the redesign. And exhausted.
Of course, like all things, it did have a few hiccups. After I put the site in maintenance mode for the update, my site went down. Yup, out of all the nights in the world, my hosting had to have an issue right then. I panicked like crazy because I wasn’t sure if it was my hosting or if I had accidentally killed my site.
I was really glad it was them, not me. 🙂
Thankfully my site was only done for maybe 30 minutes, but there was a superstitious part of me that was hesitant to do the install after that auspicious start. LOL! But I crossed my fingers and dove in. And … there were some problems but I expected those. I knew my theme change was going to give me problems with my images, which I am slowly fixing. So please be patient with me, but I hope by the end of the week that everything will be working 100% as intended.
So … what do you think?
I love it, Tanya! The little pawprint in the logo at the very top is so cute 🙂
Thanks, Kali! Yeah, you me – gotta represent my kitty love. 🙂 And possible paw fetish. LOL!
Looks really nice Tanya! Easy to navigate and clean!
Thanks, Tonya! That’s exactly what I was going for! Woot! Woot!
Love Love Love it Tanya!
I know what you mean by exhausted. Revamping a blog is fun but it can be very tiring too.
It’s funny because when I introduced the new look of Not Now Mom’s Busy my hosting company had some glitches too. 🙂
Now I’m just drooling over all the recipes on the sidebar :). Happy Monday hun!
Thanks, Corina! It is exhausting because there are so many little details and sometimes what works on the test site, doesn’t transfer for some odd reason, etc, etc. LOL – I guess hosting companies just love to play with us. I had just activated the maintenance mode plug-in and thought something horrible had happened. I’ve done my job when people are drooling over the recipes! You have a great Monday too!
Excellent job Tanya!
Very classy! Love the new logo and the color scheme, and the placement of all of your delicious recipes.
I can only imagine how panicked you were when the site went down. Several years ago I was building a wordpress site and I made a mistake that made all of my stuff disappear. Oooppsss…fortunately I was just experimenting, but I learned a good lesson quite quickly.
Have a great week!!
Thanks, Sicorra! I thought I ought to tempt readers with some of my yummy recipes. LOL! I have to tell you when I was first creating Eat Laugh Purr, I made a mistake in php and well you know … broke the site. Got the dreaded parse error and had no idea what I did. So not knowing anything, I started over from scratch. A good lesson to learn but I was so mad. Saturday night I was just worried it was too much of a coincidence that I go into maintenance mode then my site shuts down. LOL! I’m never happy when my hosting goes down but I have to say that night I was really glad that’s all it was!
LOVE it, Tanya!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous, and love the new “About” page too: super cute pics of both of you. 🙂 Awesome work, my friend!!
Thanks, Laurie! I like the new About page too. MaxE wasn’t really thrilled about taking all the pictures and well, you know cats. Whatever you want them to do, they have no desire to do! LOL!
Looks fabulous Tanya! Great job!
Thanks, Bren! Appreciate your kind words!
You did a fabulous job, Tanya! Love it 🙂
Thanks, Mackenzie!
