Changes!

Filed under Site News by on July 12, 2010 at 8:00 am {2 comments}

If you are a particularly observant reader you may have noticed that there have been  few changes over the weekend.  The most obvious is the color scheme.  We’ve changed it up from the brown to this tranquil blue.  The brown hues did work thematically, but weren’t very eye pleasing.

In addition I added an article slider at the top that will rotate through some recent posts.

Finally, the categories have been updated to fit the direction my writing has taken, which hopefully will be a little less random.  On second thought…no promises there.

This week I will finish tweaking the design and colorization, re-work the about page and give a further break down of the new categories.

Hopefully no one violently despises the new look, but I’m open to feedback.

Do you like the new colors?  Do you miss the thematic coffee colors? Love the article slider?  The comment box is just below, waiting for your opinion.

I’m still here!

Apologies for an unannounced dark week here at Not Enough Coffee.   I’ve been sick, which is a lame excuse, but it is the one I have.   The lack of caffeine coupled with cold medicine has left me a lethargic pile of goo.   Hopefully after a restful weekend I will return Monday with a normal schedule.

Until then, everyone have a fantastic weekend.

Home sweet home

I have returned from an epic journey that started off with some insane difficulties.  The story has become an entity of its own, that through re-telling has become something like trying to get to Mount Doom to destroy the one ring.  I was just trying to get to my cousin’s wedding and it seemed like everything was trying to stop me from arriving.  I spent time in 5 different states trying to fly up.  Insanity.

The back half was amazing though.  I will expand on that more tomorrow but it was a really awesome and positive trip.

I’m home now though and settling in to my normal routines.  Getting my laundry done and unpacking.  Boring stuff.

But my “vacation” was every bit as eye opening as I had hoped.  It truly was good to get the hell out of Dodge for a few days, and its changed my perspective some on my life, and where this blog is heading.  The grueling journey to my destination and the first half of my trip were in complete contrast to my flight home and the end of my trip.  Opposites exist to make us all appreciate the good things I guess.
