Hi there! How are you today? Hope you're all having a great week. Since I've been busy updating my website, I thought I'd post a little something to announce what I've done.
The other day I blogged about the things I did to make the connection secure and make sure the correct information is being fed into search engines. I even mentioned that I was thinking about changing the template. And I couldn't get the idea out of my head, couldn't stop thinking about all the pesky things that annoyed me about the oldish design I'd had for YEARS.
So, I started doing some research, and found myself perusing quite a few lovely templates. In the end, there was one that really grabbed me. I read about all the features and widgets. Psyched myself up during the long weekend in preparation... and last night, I DID IT! Yay. 🎉
It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be and most of the work involved customising widgets until I was happy with the layout. I like how the website now adapts to whatever device you're using! One of the things that used to bug me the most was how small the text was when I proofread posts on my phone. Now, the whole page adapts. I didn't even know what responsive meant until I started researching templates. LOL.
Sorting out my website has involved learning about all sorts of stuff. Everything helped me wrap my mind around what needed to be done. But it didn't stop there!
During my afternoon walk I decided the menu needed a drop-down tweak to break up the FICTION tab a little better. Once again, it wasn't too hard to figure out because BTemplates provides detailed instructions.
Anyway, the drop-down menu changes also involved revising and adding pages. But it's so much better now.
Of course there'll be more changes in the future, but I'm very happy with the outcome. It's pretty much a new website that doesn't feel bogged down by the overuse of graphics. Especially since I removed the sidebar and instead made use of the footers.
Very cool.
I'm going to post this without any images to check out what it looks like.
So, what do you think? Are you checking it out on your phone or laptop? Personally, I prefer the way it looks on my phone but the laptop is fine, too. 😊
Have a great day!
