Zounds! A new look!

A long time ago in a blog far, far away.

A man and a woman started a blog to allow fam­ily and friends to vir­tu­ally travel with them to coun­tries on the other side of the world.
Upon their return home, this blog went unused for lack of any­thing inter­est­ing to say.
Until the woman became heavy with child, spark­ing new inter­est in things to share.
The old blog was re-purposed into a doc­u­ment of the new life that had entered their home.
But deep inside the web server, the old blog had begun to rust and the man knew some­thing had to be done…

As you have noticed, the blog has under­gone some sig­nif­i­cant new changes. Instead of hop­ing you will read through lots of text; which no one ever does; the top 9 posts are now dis­played with a pic­ture to encour­age you to explore past the top few. The header has been reduced and new nav­i­ga­tion to make get­ting around sim­pler. Near the bot­tom, the cat­e­gories are listed to fur­ther aid times when you want to find that post you can’t remem­ber the title of.
Finally, some tremen­dous improve­ments have been imple­mented under the hood to keep away the SPAM. Unlike Attack of the Clones, I am hop­ing that the new tech­nol­ogy I have installed will make for a bet­ter blog read­ing expe­ri­ence for you to enjoy.

By the way, lots of new Sophie Photos avail­able on Flickr.

  3. This…is…so…sweet! How do you do this? Is it a WordPress thing?

  4. Yes, this blog is run­ning on WordPress 2.5.1 with the really unique theme The Unstandard. Both WordPress and the theme are com­pletely free but you will need to have your own non-Windows web site/server to install them on. All of the links are at them bot­tom of the page.

  5. Love see­ing the new photos!
