New Look

If you happened to check out our blog late last night, you might have noticed a number of subtle changes as we try to update our image. It really is long overdue. Only problem is that we're (more me than Suni) a bit blogger illiterate. How does one do it? I mean...we'd really like to have the header fill the entire width of the window. We know it can be done, but can't for the life of us figure it out. Or how about menu tabs? We want that too, but we're no closer to adding that feature to our site.

One thing at a time. For now, we're just concentrating on the header.

Here is attempt #1. Seemed kind'a chunky...

Attempt #2 is now thinner, but I went overboard on the pictures...

Attempt #3 is a toned-down version of #2. I think it would look much better if we could expand it across the width of the page. There are still too many pictures, but if we can figure out the menu tab options, these pictures will be the perfect complement.

If any of you can recommend a good website for customizing blogs (as in easy-to-follow for the non-speaking HTML type) we would be most grateful if you'd share!

Website Update

Tomorrow is a big day for us! It's the day that we share what's been keeping us so busy. We're excited to have you check out our new and improved website. The look and feel of the website hasn't changed, but take a look around and see if you can spot the changes.

Here's a couple of the new gadgets...

1. You can now use the Photo Wizard to prepare your pictures for the ornament and letter block projects! Yah, we know, it's about time. Thanks to our Swiss Day customers who have been patiently waiting. We think you'll love how easy it is to format your pictures for the different projects. We sure LOVE that we can now print 20 ornament pictures on a page! No more fiddling with the scaling or only getting one block ornament printout per page.


2. Had pictures that were too big to load into the Photo Wizard? Notice the past tense?? You're going to love how much easier it is to upload your pictures. We still have size limitations based on the whole internet thing, but now if you try to ADD a big picture, the Photo Wizard is going to give you the option of using our new Java Uploader feature.


3. We've also updated our Demo's and Tutorials section! Keep in mind that this is a work in progress, but it's the place to go if you have questions about any of our projects!

It seems like there is always something needing cleaning, changing or explaining, in life and in the virtual world of the internet. We'll continue to chase down the dust bunnies and get everything in working order, just in time for the next set of changes. Remember, tomorrow is the big day! Come check out the bells and whistles, kick the tires, look under the hood and let us know what works...and doesn't work.
