Progress and Change

February 23, 2015 Off By Lisa

I would love to write something profound and witty for you today.

In the interest of efficiency and a need for a good night’s sleep, however, I’m opting for simple. In the next few days, I will be rolling out some changes for the blog and I wanted you to have a bit of a heads-up. Let’s just say I’m doing some work on my One Word for the year – progress – among other things.

For now, let me give you just a bit to get started…

If you’ve seen me comment on your blog lately, you  may have noticed that I’ve changed my blogging e-mail address slightly and I’ve started using a new gravatar. If you look around the blog you might notice another surprise hiding somewhere. (Thanks Sarah and Ivy for your help on that one.)

I’ve used this little crop from my blog’s original header image since I started the blog in June of 2012. The original header came from a photo I took one day when I came home and noticed a single read leaf hanging among all the other green ones in the tree outside our front door.

Somewhere along the line, I switched my header to what you see at the top of the blog now. I tried cropping a little gravatar out of there but when I started to use it, several people told me they didn’t recognize me in comments or a linkup because they were looking for my little red leaf and it wasn’t there.

The time has come, though, to make some changes in this space – and I promise I’ll tell you more about why. For now, just know that I made that little switch to my e-mail address (see the Contact page if you didn’t get it already) and I have started to use this sweet new gravatar when commenting and posting links:

I’ve take a few of my blog’s pages off the menu bar at the top of the front page, but only temporarily. Right now you’ll see only my original About page, my Contact page, and my Buttons and Things page.

For the next few days, I’ll be working on the changes I plan to roll out this week. I will also be spending some time writing offline and catching up on some reading – I have 1000Speak posts, FTSF posts, TToT posts, and some real-life tangible book pages to get through.

While I may not post anything here for a couple of days, I’m sure I’ll catch you via whatever means we usually use to chat with one another and I will definitely be around to read blog posts. If I haven’t visited you in a while, I’m sorry and I miss reading you – I’ll be there soon!

Look for my roll out post later this week. And you know I’ll be in for the TToT on the weekend.
