My Blog Re-Design – What Do You Think?

image

After 10 months and 226 posts I decided I needed to move away from the rather RED theme I’d been using and get a bit more funky with its design.

So with the help of Dave and the guys from Bronco plus some priceless advice from the fabulous Shari, we came up with what you see today! Thanks to them and everyone else I’ve bothered by asking for their opinion.

Β The first stab was a bit greener than I’d have liked so we evolved it to be bluer with green elements, like the heading for instance.

The pictures are supposed to show a British/London flavour…..

….and the Twitter widget is simply fabulous – http://twitter.com/melcarson

It’s been an fascinating experience as there are so many elements and thought processes that go into designing a blog. From SEO to accessibility and design, colouring and mood creation etc….

I’ll now be pouring over Jen’s blog advice and ticking off her check list!

Would love to get your feedback – so let me know what you think….

    A nice improvement. But didn’t you leave a few people off your blogroll? πŸ˜‰ Will I see you at SES San Jose?

    Thanks Bryan – I’m going to have to re-think the BlogRoll and maybe do a links page. And I’m working on San Jose πŸ™‚

    Looks great! However, do you think your French colleagues would think the photo of Nelson’s Column indicative of a quintessential ‘British/London flavour’ or a cultural faux pas?! N’est ce pas?

    My French friends are very aware that my birthday is Trafalgar Day – I remind the every time I visit the Paris office πŸ™‚
