Prettying things up for the neighbors

Dear readers,

What do you think of the new digs?

I think it’s amazing and gorgeous and that would be because I have a team of the best designers around!

I’d like to thank Adam and Marshall and their team at ADVENT CREATIVE for the beautiful design for Loralee’s Looney Tunes, Preston and his team at MULTIMEDIAWISE , who took Advent’s theme and headed up a complemetary design for my product review blog and SETH JENKS for his revamp of my Twitter page and avatar.

I’d appreciate you giving them your feedback and applause because I could never, ever have afforded to do something this cool on my own.

SO, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT AND LET THESE HARD WORKING GUYS FEEL AS MUCH SUPER DOOPER TROOPER LORALEE’S LOONEY TUNES READER LOVE AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!

(And yes, I am totally aware that I phrased this request like a combination of a re-run of The Mickey Mouse Club and a Mid-Level Marketing meeting all at the same time.)

Kisses n’ stuff,

Loralee

    Hey, y’all…

    If you are having a hard time, can you try holding down CTR (or your apple button) and refreshing the page?

    It usually works from that point on when you do it.

    THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT LOVE. These guys worked their rears off and I am soooooooo happy wih the results!

    Hi,
    I’m so sorry to give negative feedback, but viewing your site in IE and FF show a truncated left column.

    The graphic design of the site is pretty.

    Very classy! I really like the bottom of the page – both the floor boards as well as the flowers coming out of the Diet Coke can. That’s so freaking cute!

    Good stuff, Loralee.

    Don’t mind the not stop traffic from Texas.. it’s just me coming here.. over and over and over again to revel in the beauty.

    LL ~ it fits you perfectly. Flowing, beautiful, elegant and eye catching with just enough sass and spark to keep things interesting.

    I see the comment entry form issue is resolved. And now we have perfection. Kudos!

    Well, as much as I appreciate the graphic work in this design, I have to admit, that I somehow prefered the old design as a whole. Maybe it’s just me and my weird taste, but it’s too white in here now. And to see all the design I had to make my FF window ridiculously wide. I’m sorry, I just don’t like it now ;( (don’t worry though – I really DO have very strange taste, everyone tell me that).

    But I guess the most important thing is that you love it – after all it’s your blog :)

    regards,
    Amy.

    @Amelia,

    No worries. I absolutely respect that this design isn’t for everyone. Few things are, right? :) I felt a lot like you but after 3 years of so much orange I was really ready for a lighter fresher feel.

    I was the one who picked the white. I was very anti-white blog space when I started out but I noticed that I was drawn more and more to them over the years.

    Besides, my writing is so chaotic and full of caps, italics and exclamation points that I wanted a much less cluttered feel.

    I requested as wide a content space as possible because I am very wordy and long winded.

    So, all of it is on me. They did what I asked and did it beautifully.

    It’s fabulous, Loralee. Beautiful, clean design, feels “all of a piece” — with your eyes still the focus and anchor at the top. I really, really like it. The Twitter page is gorgeous too. Two thumbs way, way UP!

    avatar jess says:

    when I first opened it up I actually said, “ohhhh pretty!” before I even read anything about the new design. I really really really like it.

    I think it looks great.

    Don’t know what my favourite part is though, I love your eyes (always have), O love the flowers and I love the decking.

    The neighbourhood looks really good now!

    @Loralee, I see your point, of course. They did exactly what you wished, so I guess they deserve really great applause :) Anyway, as I said – the graphic is lovely. Header and footer are gorgeous.

    Though the wide content space has its practical side – for example on my mom’s laptop which I’m using right now (as my own “computer” stayed at my place) it’s just too wide for the screen :)

    regards,
    Amy.

    @Amelia,

    No worries…seriously, I know my choices aren’t for everyone.

    I’m not trying to have a back and forth here (REALLY I know what you’re saying) but I don’t want people thinking that my designers wouldn’t tell me about what wide content would do to smaller screens.

    They advised me about the smaller screens and that some of the design would be chopped off with the wide content space. I looked at it on my standard size laptop and really, I felt it looked ok. So that bad is on me, too I’m afraid. :)

  37. 87

    @Loralee, I see :D (I have to admit, too, my mom’s laptop is not very new, quite the opposite, frankly. Plus, it is very probable that what’s standard in your country, might not be in mine. After all, you’re way ahead of us, when it comes to technology. So I get XD)

    ciao,
    Amy.
