Review:
Did you notice the new design? We had a pretty major site change and it’s all thanks to Margaret at The World As I See It. Last Friday I joined her blog hop and she mentioned she does design work. And voila!
As someone who is incredibly stupid when it comes to graphics, logos, etc (my best effort was the old logo) I was grateful for someone who was willing to work with me on making the blog look better. Margaret did that and so much more! She took my logo and made it 100x better (You can actually read the words now!). From that and the basic colors I gave her, she made the background and side bars (did you see that Twitter/Facebook don’t overtake the side now? That’s thanks to Margaret!). She also made the signature you’ll now see at the bottom of every post and the blog button on the left.
Margaret also worked quite quickly. I literally asked her on a post Friday afternoon and had a whole new design by Saturday morning! She worked with what I had and did the extra needed to redo my logo (she had to go find the original piece of ClipArt I used and fix it from there). Margaret really listened to what I want and made it happen. If you are looking for someone to do a blog design for you, please contact Margaret at The World As I See It. She is fantastic, helpful and quick!

This is one of my latest designs.
Here is her review:
Those of you who have been with me for awhile may have noticed some changes over the last month or so!
My blog has been COMPLETELY re-designed and I even have a new logo and great new buttons that much!!!
It’s all very cool and I love it a lot. It’s really different than what I had before, but it’s also easy to navigate and easy to read.
This design came courtesy of the web-design master, Margaret. Here’s her website, if you want to stop by and check it out.
Let me tell you about the process that we went through: We started off easy (well, I started off easy, she had a harder time because I only knew that I wanted my blog cleaned up, but hadn’t really, really decided WHAT else I wanted….however, I did know what I DIDN’T want….poor Margaret….). She sent me pics of things, and templates, and previews and had me look them over and tell her what I did or didn’t like (every time!) and then she would adjust accordingly. If you couldn’t tell from my description this far, the thing that impressed me the most about Miss Margaret was her complete sense of PATIENCE. If I didn’t like something, she changed it; If I didn’t get back to her right away, she just kept plugging away at; If I thought it was perfect, she continued in the same fashion. Her communication skills are great and I never felt like I was being left out to dry (so to speak) or interfering with her work. She answered all my questions and inquiries very promptly and was quick to make sure that I approved of where she was going with everything. Which, is a HUGE plus since I could not have made all these changes myself (without TONS more education in web design)!!
