Welcome to the redesigned site – just in time for Christmas!
As you can see I have finally emerged from behind my “little cartoon me”…
I used yesterday to upgrade to Thesis 1.6 so I could take advantage of Chris’ new drop down function on the navigation bar. I believe it’s a testament to the power of this incredible theme that I was not only able to upgrade quickly and easily but I could then tweak and customise the changes to get it the way I wanted in only an hour or so. (I couldn’t have done this without spending a long time in the support forum – it is such an invaluable resource and given my tiny amount of experience with CSS and PHP, I would have made such a mess without their help!)
But most importantly I hope this redesign has made the site a little more me - and now I’m really keen to hear what you think.
Do you like the new design?
Do you find the site easy to navigate?
What do you think is missing?
I would value your comments and feedback greatly, especially as with baby almost here I will have loads of time to tinker with the site as I lounge in bed 
So go ahead and let me know what you think below!

Hey Natalie!
The site looks wonderful – even better than last time. It’s clean and professional, yet is very polished and is more personal than before.
My only slight complaint (if you can even call it a complaint!) with the design is that the email field extends beyond the gray box where email subscriptions are in the top right corner of your site. That’s the only flaw I can see with the design.
Looks sharp, Nat! Hopefully the improved aesthetics draw more people to the site

Ooh that’s funny – the box isn’t too big on my browsers – checked both Firefox and Explorer…but thanks for pointing it out, will keep an eye on it. Glad you like it though Brett! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

I’m using Safari and the email space extends beyond the gray box. But I agree with Brett. Very clean. I might add a little more space between the column and side bar for a little more room-looks a little tight. Nice photos and header.
Merry Christmas

Ah Safari – ok, will see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback Tina! Welcome – and have a merry Christmas too
Natalie, I love your new site redesign! It’s simple, elegant, beautifully proportioned and your voice comes through so clearly, I can almost hear you speak.
Celebrating your new web-home, and you!
