Being Frugal has a new look!

by Lynnae on November 7, 2007 · 17 comments

I enjoy shaking things up every once in a while, so I changed my theme. I think the new look is a lot cleaner. The site may go through a little bit of tweaking over the next few days, so please be patient with the changes. If you’re reading this in a feed reader, you might want to check out the new look! And please, if you are having any problems with the new theme…trouble reading, the page doesn’t load, 3/4 of the page is off the screen….don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

So don’t be shy. Tell me what you think!

So far I’ve made the font a little bigger and darker. Is it easier to read now?

I’ll work on trying to get the header graphic a little big smaller. That might take a little time, but I’m working on it? Anything else? Your wish (might be) my command! :)

Yeah I love this one. Your last one was pretty but not as fresh as this. Great work!

I can hardly read the font….it hurts my eyes. Maybe if you made it darker or larger? I do like the piggy bank! =)

I like it a lot! Much better than the dark, depressing, drab brown of before. One suggestion, make the top banner thinner and remove the spacing at the top. It takes up too much space, especially for people on laptops with reduced resolutions.

OK, so far I’ll work on the font and the banner. I did try to make the banner thinner last night, and it really messed things up. I will keep at it though. I agree that it’s a little too big.

I’m a little better at working with fonts, so I will work on that first.

Thanks for speaking up. I’d hate to think that my readers were having big problems with my theme. It may take me a while to get it sorted out, since I’m not very technologically inclined, but I’m working on it. :)

It looks like you’ve got a stray bit of PHP code hanging out – at the very bottom left of the page you can see:

$codeStr = ”;

Yeah, I noticed that. Any ideas on how to get rid of that? At least it’s at the bottom of the page, right?

I don’t know if you already fixed the banner but the banner looks great to me.. not to big at all..

Like the new layout… your other one loaded really slow for me for some reason but this one loads right up…
