<\/div>\n

It’s been a busy week at work, so I have a short post for you today. Just a quick update, really. About two months ago, I wrote about my plans to update my blog design<\/a>. It’s been a slow process, but I think I’m done. Phew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most drastic change is the color scheme, of course. My previous red, white, and black color scheme was geared toward the books I’d written that are currently unpublished. I want to separate my blog from my book writing, as the two really aren’t connected at this point. I like this color update, it’s a muted rainbow, done in a way to avoid being eye-searing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I like the changes I’ve made \u2014 as I should, really. One of my favorites is the progress bar at the top of each blog post as you scroll. I hope you enjoy the changes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, now I need your help. I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d let me know if you come across anything that looks weird or out of place or doesn’t function correctly. I’m just one person, so it’s entirely possible I’ve missed something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading to the end. What do you think of my blog changes? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to subscribe to my blog<\/a> or follow me on Instagram<\/a> so you don’t miss any posts. I generally post at least once a week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
