New Year – New Look
Friday, January 1, 2010 11:13I’m welcoming in the fresh decade with a new look on CraftBlog. I’ve been chipping away at this design for ages now and I finally feel like it’s ready to be launched.
This is the first time the design has gone live to this level of traffic, and on a brand new spanking server, so if you see any bugs or errors, I would love it if you could drop me a note and just let me know. I am ironing out kinks as I discover them, so just bear with me for the first couple of days!
You’ll also notice the advertising in the sidebar, after two years of being asked I have finally opened CraftBlog up to advertising. I will be offering both the leaderboard and the 125×125 squares available for advertising for your craft related business, blogs, directories and handmade stores. I already have a waiting list of people who have contacted me previously about advertising, but if you’re interested in promoting yourself or your business via CraftBlog, once again, please contact me (or DM me on twitter) and I will email you a .PDF covering the statistics and advertising rates.
Any advertising sign ups during the month of January will be offered at half price, so get in there quick if you’re interested.
I think that’s about everything covered. I have some awesome plans for the site in the coming year, there’s a lot to be excited about. I know I said it in yesterday’s post, but thank you very much for all the support, links and comments over the last two years, and I’m hoping we can have a superb 2010 together.

Nice fresh design Fern. It must be a new year thing, I am hoping to finish the redesign of my blog in the next week! The site is easy to navigate and I like the categories eg < i hour etc.

I’m not exactly sure what the site looked like before (I’m a relatively new reader…and memory challenged), but I’m liking this design. The blues and greens are very soothing and serene.

I usually read in a reader. but I clicked over to see your new design. I love it! I just redesigned mine as well. It’s a new year, I think everyone likes the idea of starting fresh.
