The problem with a site redesign is that sometimes things look better on paper than they do in the finished product. (The same of course could be said for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Looked much better on paper than it did on-screen.) Sometimes the way you thought graphics were going to look, aren’t always how they appear when they are converted into HTML and slapped on a web site.
Scott Paterson, a blogger and fellow Twitter user who goes by the name of @twister65 pointed out to me earlier today that some of the sidebar graphics looked a little fuzzy. While I had noticed that too, I was hoping that maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Turns out while my eyes might deceive me when it comes to other things, Scott and I were right. (And probably others too, but no one said anything.) Thankfully Patti Moran of Patti Moran Graphic Design was there to swoop in and save the day!
Now, for your viewing pleasure, on the right sidebar and the header at the top, you will see the NEW and improved titles, courtesy of Patti and her design firm. Patti has done some pretty-kick ass graphics, which you can see in her on line portfolio. (By the way, Patti is also a Twitter user and you can follow her as well.)
I can’t begin to tell you how impressed and thankful I am. It’s times like these that you see just how nice some people can be. And I love the new font. It’s actually better than the old font which was simply a red version of the font I used on the white background.
Yes, Patti Moran is a saint… and she has good taste in blogs too.
On an interesting side note, both Scott and Patti recommended the same hill for me to try during what will be my first sledding in Ottawa outing so I’m guessing I’ll have to try that out.

LOL Chris…wow, you’re too kind. Just came back from lunch to see you’re already using the new headers. I’m really tickled you liked them! Thanks very much for linking to my site, too! Always nice to get a little free publicity. Cheers, and good luck with the “new” blog.
What can I say? You did an awesome job. They graphics look amazing. You have an eye for graphic design and it shows!
What’s the hill? You can’t just leave a teaser like that without divulging!
All in due time… all in due time…
