Did Someone Change the Drapes?

I’m slow to change some things…. I have had the same self modded theme on CogDogBlog since November 2005 (see the last face lift), so 4+ years later, I felt it was time to toy with some new digs.

But I am impulsive (I can speed shop with the best of them), so I looked at about 3 themes, and liked the approach of Patrick’s hoPE theme as it uses a flickr gadget to display my own photos in the upper right. I’ll kick this one around the yard a bit, tweak some sidebars, and give it my usual theme hacking.

Look for the next make over in 2014….

    I like the new look… Maybe I’ll throw a coat of paint up on mine too… Happy New Year…

    Love it! The photos up top are fantastic. You’ve inspired me to change my look as well … and perhaps some content from time-to-time.

    Like the new look..it’s refreshing! Love the old photos, especially the pizza shot. I still have the chicken coop shot framed at my house.

    I know I am nostalgic, but I miss the old cogdog blog theme, can you at least give me the option to view the site that way :)

    Knock me over with a spoon! Interesting ideas and fresh and engaging graphic presentation to boot? It’ll take me four years to recover – don’t change anything for a bit so we can acclimate to the new digs!

    Well done CDB. But shouldn’t you be out running? ;-)
