Or, my new blog design is up!

What do you think? Does it capture me or what? I have to say that David Wright of Collective Inkwell was genuis at interpreting my vague instructions into exactly the design that I wanted but didn’t know how to describe. If you’re looking for custom blog design or help with search engine optimization, copywriting or other website services, they are the guys to talk to. At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, they are incredibly professional, easy to work with and offer competitive pricing. You can also find David’s partner, Sean Platt at Ghostwriter Dad for everything from copy writing to custom wedding vows. I can’t say enough good things about these guys, hire them before they become out of this world famous and you can’t afford them anymore!

Tim Brownson May 21, 2009 at 4:02 pm: Wow, bloggerdad did a brilliant job. Nice one!

BTW, I didn’t mean wow, as in wow, I didn’t think he could. More of a general wow.

Writer Dad May 21, 2009 at 5:21 pm: Tracy, both Thesis and pink look simply dazzling on you. Dave, as always, knocked it out of the park. I didn’t know it was possible for something so girly to also look so cool.

Kim Woodbridge May 21, 2009 at 5:22 pm: Umm … Sean – girly is not the opposite of cool

Awesome Tracy – I love the cartoon drawings of you in the header

Blogger Dad May 21, 2009 at 8:27 pm: Thanks for the nice words, Tracy. I’m glad you like the design. It was fun to do and I’m thrilled to do a design for a site (and person) I like so much!

Thanks to everyone else for the awesome compliments!

Patricia – Thanks! And no, try as I might to get my cat inside the big UPS shipping box, he refuses to go in! He just looks at me with this, “you think I’m THAT dumb?” sorta’ expression.
Lesley May 21, 2009 at 8:47 pm: Oh Tracy I love love love it! It’s very you.
Vered - MomGrind May 21, 2009 at 9:08 pm: It’s GORGEOUS.

Adrenalynn May 22, 2009 at 1:39 am: I LOVE IT! Oh, the pinkness! And the fabulosity. Awesome. I’m totally jealous.

Stacie May 23, 2009 at 12:01 am: I love the pink, I love the faces! This new look is appealing to the eye, engaging to me as a lover of all things pink, and very accurately sums up what Tracy’s board is all about. I do have one issue, and maybe it’s just the scrren I am looking from, but I wish the “piece” didn’t run into the conversation bubble. Like I said, that just might be my browser.

Overall, awesome. It speaks highly of the design team!
Stephen - Rat Race Trap May 23, 2009 at 5:41 am: Tracy, I love it! Every Monday I wear a shirt that is almost the color of your header background but hotter! I love pink. That sounds weird but I don’t care.
