My new-look blog

This is just a quickie to shout out Misha Gericke and The Golden Eagle.

I won the vote for Best Writing/Inspirational Blogger in Misha's inaugural Paying Forward Awards. (Thank you so much to whoever nominated and voted for me.)

My prize was a design from The Golden Eagle, who has - with a lot of patience - provided me with the fantastic banner above.

Thank you both for giving me such a great prize! Please go and check out their blogs - they're both brilliant.

  2. Well I agree completely with Elizabeth. I feel a little Forrest Gumpish right now: Love the new look and how it fits with your book and congratulations on a well-deserved recognition. And that's all I have to say about that.

  15. Congratulations, and I like the new look of the blog! It's good to change things; it's kind of like getting a new journal to write in, because it can be inspiring, in a way. On the other hand, I've had the same design on my blog for three years, but that's mainly because I don't know much about how to change it.

  17. Hi Annalisa .. I love the new look - it's clean and clear ... then the banner - what a great spread ... wake up, eat, write, sleep .... perhaps you should have put exercise in there - that essential element that you're so good at.

    Congratulations on winning Misha's award ...

    Kudos to Golden Eagle - she's one talented young lady, and to Misha .. for her Paying It Forward award ..

    Cheers Hilary

  18. Okay, I'm going to cheat now, and comment to you all - thank you!

    Linda - professional? Oooh I like that :-)

    Neurotic - the problem is changing to something you don't like and forgetting where you found the things you did like! I spent ages going round in circles especially with the fonts!

    Hilary - exercise? Not EVERY day :-) Yes, Golden Eagle and Misha are wonderful people, and they deserve the shout out!

  26. Aw, that's so nice of them. It's fun to change your blog's look from time to time - it's like changing your hair color! :-)
