Here's the new design:

After years of using the same free template, which I then heavily customized, I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a design that had a lot of white space like my past blog looks, but had more organization. A second sidebar was especially important so that my sponsors are immediately viewable when readers arrive at my blog. Once I found this theme on Blog Milk, I was sold.
Interested in sponsoring the new, even more sponsor-friendly Oh, Mishka during the month of August? Head over to my advertising info page. Since I'm so excited about this new design, all ads are 25% off when purchased in the next week! Just use code NEWDESIGN at checkout.
What do you think of my new blog design? I love it and I hope you do too!

Looks great! I love the subtle stripes on the left & right :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love little details like that in blog designs.
DeleteThis, honestly, looks FANTASTIC. I think this is a really good change, and I've been following you for about three years now. White background looks so clean, and I like it (I've been meaning to "fix" mine for awhile now, too). Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn!
DeleteThe new design is really pretty! I love the color palette.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked your blog design. They are always nice, clean and practical. You've inspired me couple of times to spice up my own blog design.
Oh wow, I'm so happy to hear that I inspired you! :)
