Wow, sometimes when I have good ideas, I find out it takes a lot more effort. For example, this new layout… I want the pages to have different templates depending on what it is.

For right now, I have excluded the Literary section and Movie Reviews. Those will go to different sites as they no longer are part of the focus I have been trying to make with this site.

Here is a list of some of the changes:
- Exclusion of Literature and Movie Review Pages
- Site Map was moved to domain section
- Graphics section is now named Resources
- Scripts (for my php scripts I developed) are under Resources
- Tutorials were moved to Resources
- Website Reviews were moved to Articles

This is a big revamp. Be excuse the mess as I am literally revamping over 200 static pages. Yes, I have a LOT of material. I would though appreciate your feedback on the layout at least. Thank you!

Technically Blondish.net turned 3 years old during May. With the layout to be unveiled, it will be the 8th version. If all goes well with this version, I will be retiring the others (Premium Blondish and Mustang), and giving them out as free WordPress layouts. I have already been asked about the Premium Blondish layout and I will strip it of the ‘blondish’ information for the layout. If anyone wants customizations of it, I charge $50 and I allow you to do anything you like, plus you get support for your layouts. (Yeah, sorry, had to slip that in, but I have already done a few customs using this template.)

I am a bit late on a layout change, but the one previewed (It is just the top part), should be up and unveiled by Sunday evening! Some of the things on the site are getting moved to their more comfortable places, like another domain of mine. This is all tied in with the re-focus of the blog that I had mentioned months ago. Some of the pages will have their own templates. I am hoping with WP-PageNavi and Yoast Breadcrumbs to do away with the older navigation to come up with something more clean. From the preview, you can see that it will retain the black, white, pink and golden tones. The guitar is a vector I made. In fact, I will have a vector tutorial on it ready as a wonderful addition.

I have also asked a few people to please write some guest posts. I would not mind if anyone else wanted to. Just give me a shout out at Twitter or here in my comments.

So, what do you think? Does the preview image look promising?

I found out that Blondish.net had been nominated at the Blogger’s Choice Awards in several categories:

- Best Geek Blog
- Best Blog About Stuff
- Best Blog Design
- Best Blog of All Time

I saw that my friend Lydia nominated my site. Thank you, Lydia! I believe in order to vote, you have to sign up.

I appreciate if you might be able to vote for me there. I actually have not done any blog award sites or any web competitions in some time, so I would really appreciate it. If you comment here and say you did vote there, I will make you a special graphic gift showing my appreciation that you can snag and take back to your own site.
