Yesterday upon much desire and deliberation I released the new layout for www.awalkinmyshoes.com.
Old Layout
Immediately after the launch of awalkinmyshoes.com I knew I needed a different layout. I still believe that my old layout was a nice one, it’s just that it didn’t satisfy the different areas I wanted to accomplish by having my website.
It’s like the times when something is bugging you, and you temporarily can’t do anything about it–so you grunt and moan every single time you have to deal with it…that’s how I felt about my old layout. The minute someone purposely or not stumbles upon this website they should have a sense of the purpose of the website and who I am within the first 10 seconds. If I’ve failed to convey that message..well then I lost ya..
I appreciate those who are still here breathing with me..
If you’re new here, I’ve added a couple of pictures from my old layout below for reference.
New Layout
It’s funny, my old layout and the new one are actually designed by the same designer–so obviously I don’t have any beef about the older one. The designer is Adii, who has created a lot of popular wordpress themes. I swear, if I had more patience for learning php, I’d be out there designing layouts as well. I just absolutely love this layout, the new features add so much more to the site including:
All New Featured Section with Custom Banners
- YouTube Video Player with Recent Videos from the AWalkInMyShoes Channel
- Flickr Thumbnails from my account
- Better Feed Icon Positioning (Subscribe)
- Previews to Posts
- Tabbed Form with Tabs for Popular,Comments,
Featured, and Tag Cloud Sections - Custom Shoes Background (everything needs a splash of fun)
So, just picture in your head, from ear to ear the cheesiest smile possible as the glee for my new site’s design radiates absolute…okay so maybe that’s a little much to say, but I’m excited.
More posts, More Frequently, and New Video Tutorials coming your way…
