It's been a bit quiet around here because this little blog has been getting a fresher look. You know, very subtle tweaks - the electronic world's equivalent to an augmentation from an A-cup to a C-cup... so that no one is too confronted with the change.
Katrina from The Media Maid was the blog design surgeon called in to look after this rather delicate procedure... I always find her bedside manner very easy going and this experience was no different. I am most happy with the changes.
We thought it was about time to update the Sow's Ear's header photograph but we wanted to ensure that we never forgot its former origins. It's half cream and salmon; half white! (We still have plans for the Sow's Ear's front facade later down the track...it all depends on the results of our research about restoring the facade to its original state if possible.)
Another great thing is that I can reply to your comments. My old custom template prevented me from using the blogger reply to comments feature...it was always awkward to interact. So if you write a really funny comment now, I'll be able to LOL! you in reply. It's the small things that matter, isn't it?
I hope you all like the fresher look.
