New Beginnings

1 Mar

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO ENTERED, THIS IS NOW CLOSED AND THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SATURDAY MARCH, 13TH.

We are very excited here at Laced With Grace to debut our new layout.  Since spring is the time for new beginnings, we thought March 1st would be a great time to showcase our new design.  It has been over three years since we have changed things around, so we are pretty giddy.

Feel free to poke around, visit each of our contributor’s page, look at the archives page (I love the layout), and notice that we have some of our categories listed on the top bar.  Oh and don’t forget our footer…how cool is that!

My goal was to provide you with a lot of information without overwhelming you.  We may still tweak here and there, but we would LOVE to know what you think of the design. We want this to be a place to be able to come when you are hurting and are in need of comfort, when you are happy and would love to have another rejoice with you, or when you are in need of prayer.  That is our desire here at LWG.

We would love for you to join in the celebration with us! We will be giving ONE reader a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift certificate (emailed to them).

EVERYONE: To enter to win, leave a comment on THIS post.

The good news is that you have aDdItIoNaL OpPoRtUnItIeS to enter to win the gift card.  (leave a SEPARATE comment for each ADDITIONAL entry).

    Hi, just another comment to let you know that I’ve been subscribing to your blog for a long time now. I seldom come into the site as I read everything within the RSS feed in my Microsoft Outlook. But it’s good to know that the site is there should I need to look something up.

    Congrats again! :-)

    I did the google connect. I thought I had done it before, but I think that something happened while I was taking my blogging break because i seem to need to rejoin all the blogs I read. :)

    I see that you used Woo Themes to create the site. I have thought about redesigning my site using one of their blog themes. How do you like it?

  26. Bobbie Smith 04. Mar, 2010 at 6:25 am #

    Wow! great page!

  27. Erika Howard 04. Mar, 2010 at 2:27 pm #

    Very easy to get around, I like it.

  29. Cindy 08. Mar, 2010 at 10:21 am #

    I also like the clean look that is easy to read. If there are too many distractions or gadgets waiting to download at a blog, I usually don’t bother reading.

    This new design is so easy to read and pleasant to look upon. And I also love the “Archives” page. I have not seen one like that. So easy to access and find something I would be looking for. Great!!

    I also replaced the blue button that I have had on my site (as I am on your blogroll) with the black button with the glorious ‘flutter by’!
    Thanks again.
