Welcome to the new My Pretty Pennies! The site is actually not that different because we figured out that my wordpress.com site could transfer to this one, so not all is lost. Whew! A huge shout out to Mrs. Micah for taking care of everything. To anyone who needs some blog help in the future, I definitely recommend using her services. She is awesome.
A few changes:
- Address & RSS Feed. The new address is http://myprettypennies.com and the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/prettypennies. While the old site and RSS feed will still work, if you still want to receive notifications, I recommend subscribing to the new one to ensure it works and delete the old subscription. I promise not to change it up on you guys again.
- The Design. The essence of the site is the same, but I added a few little design features to keep a minimalist look with pops of color from photos and links.
- Linked Within. This feature shows old related posts at the end of each current post. I find it’s a nice way to navigate around the site and visit old posts without digging too hard. I’m curious to see if anyone likes or dislikes this feature.
- TweetMeme. If you like a post, tweet about it on Twitter.
- Archive Page. Click on the Archive Page where all posts are separated by month, listing the name, date and comment number for post.
- Contact Form. You can now email directly from the site through the contact form. Yay!
- About Page. I updated my About page. You’ll have to click to see some photos of what I look like… ;)
- Advertising. I have a section now for all advertisements and sponsorships. I promise not to clutter up the site, but I do have some available space if anyone is interested in advertising on My Pretty Pennies. Contact me for an updated rate card.
That’s it! There are a few posts that didn’t transfer all the way, but it is a work-in-progress and I appreciate your patience! Feedback and suggestions welcome. :) Yay! One more of my yearly goals crossed off!
Glad to help. :)
OOH! I love it! And I also love the header! Very nice!!
It looks lovely! :-)
Looks great MPP!!! =D
YAY!!! It looks beautiful!!! I will be asking you for pointers when I go thru the change. :)
Am I the only one that still sees strike through in the text? On your homepage nearly everything has strikethrough font, but then within the posts, everything is clear? I don’t know if this is a backend thing, or maybe my computer is funky. Mostly my computer being funky! Love the new site though!
@Investing Newbie,
What OS/browser are you using? I haven’t seen that problem on the ones I used to visit it, but I can try checking it on whatever you’re using to see if I can replicate.
Your blog’s design is very clean and easy to navigate!
It looks great. I hear Mrs. Micah does great work from many people.
Looks good! Congrats on the switch. :)
Very nice — congrats! No strikethrough problems on my IE/Windows 7.
I like the new look. I especially like the how your archives are set up.
@ Mrs.Micah! Ah, It’s my browser. My company hasn’t upgraded to IE8 yet…
