Welcome to the new Shrimp Salad Circus! Look around, and let me know what you think!
I know I said this was happening Friday, but I’m really bad at committing to a final decision. BUT without further ado, I’d like to officially unveil the new, modern, clean, prettyfied Shrimp Salad Circus. If you’re reading this from a feed, click through to stop by and check it out.
I hope you like the new look. I know a lot of people were pretty attached to the old design, but I needed a change. I wanted a cleaner, simpler look, and I’ve finally found something I love.
I started with a template from La Designerie and then spent the past month changing it a little at a time until I had it just how I wanted. Katrina’s CSS tutorials at Pugly Pixel were invaluable as I mucked through the process. Another great resource that I go back to over and over is W3Schools. They have a great ‘try it out’ feature to test the coding in real-time as you learn what you’re doing.
Okay, now that that sounds like an awards show acceptance speech, I’m ready to call it a day. Take a peek around at all the new elements, and let me know what you think in the comments!
I just adore the new design. Lovely.
I love how it turned out Lindsay! Great job, lady! 🙂
Lookin’ good! I’m halfway through my own “spring cleaning” for my blog (It’s ok, it’s actually spring here) It feels good to remove the clutter, huh?!

Love it! Congrats!
I really like it! I love the hover over image for Shrimp Salad Circus – the subtle dot shift. I also like your “Pin this” etsy roll overs. They look like little watercolor brush strokes. The fonts modern too. The only thing I’d say is that I don’t feel like there’s cohesion in the top and bottom. The top bar font is really small and the bottom row (with sewing 101, etc) is larger and in a different font and is also a different size on the page. i don’t know, that part just doesn’t seem to line up for me. but really, really good job! i bet you learned a ton of css and html doing this yourself!
Very nice redesign! Although there were things about the old one I liked, it was looking a little cluttered. This is a really nice, clean job! Congrats!
Love it!! 🙂 So clean and refreshing.
