I have received a number of compliments on this blog's recent makeover. The compliments, however, should not be directed to me, but rather to a very bright young lady named Laura Mikowychok, whom I met at the West Chester University Poetry Conference and who helped me and Carrie Keesey with the videos. Laura - brave girl - is actually teaching me how to do things that I hope will improve this site, such as podcasts and videos. (I figure if I have to learn this stuff I may as well have an attractive young woman as my tutor.)
At any rate, the current design is entirely Laura's doing. I was really taken with it when she sent me a picture of it Sunday night. It is is precisely what I was hoping for. You'll be hearing more about Laura here as I make progress in becoming a geratric geek.

Now you've done it! You've consummated the perfect marriage of form and substance: the new format (and especially the exquisite banner) is superb, which comfortably conforms to the always superior content of the blog postings. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNever too late to become a geek! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat, I wonder, would Nabokov say about the geriatric geek and the attractive young female tutor? Might he be inspired (were he still around) to write a sequel to or homage to his own LOLITA? Worth think about, eh?
ReplyDeleteThe foregoing, I must hasten to add, is offered neither viciously nor jealously but merely, with tongue in cheek, humorously and pleasantly.
I'm just glad the yellow's gone :) Otherwise, the makeover looks great.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Laura, and I'm with R.T.: the banner is divine.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done.
