Back to the Drawing Board?

I was putting the finishing touches on my website today. I had added, deleted, changed colors, fonts, colors and blocks of texts. I had written and rewritten. I finally sat back and thought, "okay, so this is pretty much done." I was excited to upload it and get on back to the other work that was pressing.

I called my teenage son in to take a look. I sat back with pride (mama can learn a few new tricks) while he scrutinized the pages. After a few minutes, he only had one comment, "Very Web 1.0, Mom."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh........ All that work and he was pretty much right on the mark. It was very much an "older website" design.

So here I go again....

I spent the afternoon reading up on some fresh styles, top trends and new elements. And I realized that some of them just wouldn't work for me. After all, I am not a big business, eCommerce site or mass market commodity. The purpose of the website is just...well...me about me.

But I did make it better, fresher and a little easier on the eyes. And if I can get by on a little less sleep, I'll have it uploaded this week! That is...barring anymore teenage commentary!
