so, it looks a little different around here
(Hey all you feed readers - you need to click on over today and see my shockingly different site design!)
Welcome to the new and improved Catnip and Coffee! I designed the header, but my dear husband did all the real work! I’m very luck to have a resident geek, and a cute geek at that. He’s been very good at putting up with my whining about nagging micromanaging of this process.
This look definitely feels more “me” to me! Black, white, red, and touch of pink - that’s definitely my style. I’m super happy to finally have my avatar incorporated into the design here. It just makes more sense.
There’s still some tweaking to do. Like the post titles aren’t quite right, and the photos aren’t working yet. I also lost my entire blogroll. The new blogroll will be in a separate page. If you were on it before, and are not yet, please feel free to remind me to put you back!
Also, the right column, which looks very bare right now, is going to have BlogHer ads soon! I’m very happy to be accepted in the the BlogHer ad network and can’t wait to get it going!
Anyway, I hope you like this as much as I do!

Like the colors, and the trail of flowers in the header is almost a pathway, leading your reader in!

I think it looks FABULOUS! I love these colors as well and the way that you’ve incorporated the little flowers to your avatar in the header really works.
Very nice.

Love the new look!

Love the new color scheme and little flowers.
Unfortunately, I am the resident geek at my house. And I only know enough HTML to be dangerous.
But I did recently redesign my blog and The Full Mommy (www.thefullmommy.com), which I am still tweaking.

The new look is bold and stylish. How about filling the “catnip and coffee” with pink? just to soften it a bit? Drop shadows are very nice…

Hey I gots me a “Resident Geek” too, who also happens to be rather cute :)
Nice site. Just found it, so I don’t know what it looked like before but it’s pretty!

I love it, nice and fresh and clean. Good choices!

Very nice! It’s funny, I had come to associate the other with you, so when I ran across another blog w/ that design it was so strange. Now you won’t have to worry about that, it’s all yours!
