Hey There!
Welcome to my new website! Okay, I suppose technically it’s a blog, but “website” sounds more official and fancy. And I’m all up in official and fancy.
I’m still working on a few things–my blog roll page, specifically. And I still have a list of unreasonable demands I have yet to give to Peter Pollock, but it’s pretty much done for now.
Isn’t it roomy? I just love all the grey space. When I was researching what color to paint my office/studio, I wanted to find a color that best stimulated creativity. Do you know which color that is? Yeppers–grey. Of course, I didn’t paint my studio grey. I painted it kiwi green with black and red accents. But that’s neither here nor there. Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah…
Please feel free to roam around. I would love it if you click on the “But enough about me” tab and tell me a little about yourself. If you’re so inclined, I’d also like to invite you to sign up via Google Friends Connect and/or the RSS feed. (That would be that little orange square in the top right corner.)
A very special, huge THANK YOU to Peter Pollock of New Blog Hosting for hosting this site and for transferring the ideas in my head into what I think is a pretty cool looking and well functioning blog. I would thank John Saddington for the beautiful Standard Theme template, but he’s not following me on twitter anymore, so he’s dead to me. (Kidding. Sort of.)
Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by! Hope you like it!

Woo hoo!!!! YOU HAVE A DOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love the little anecdote about painting your office. That’s so Katdish.
Lanie,
That dot was just for you
And the millions of other people who rightfully respect grammar.
Lainie,
You and I are thinking the same thing!!!!
Lovely new home! I will follow you anywhere, of course. xo
Thank you, Jeanne. Ditto.
Your new place looks great!
Awesome! Cool site, Katdish. And Peter. Well done!
Thanks, Heather.
It’s almost all John Saddington’s doing though. Standard theme is pretty great!
Very cool! I love your new place!
*sitting back, putting feet up, getting comfy….pass the popcorn, please*
In a word….AWESOMESAUCE!
(with a cherry on top….and whipped cream and nuts.)
Would now be a bad time to tell you how much I hate wordpress blogs that don’t have a “previous post” and “next post” option in case I want to explore. I usually stop reading them after one post.
And I don’t like grey.
And I don’t like twitter. That has nothing to do with anything, I just felt like venting.
So… nice weather we’re having.
……
UGH!
I hate blogs that don’t have previous and next post options too.
I’ll fix that if her royal katdishness tells me to!
And how do you add those previous and next post options?
And I fully support Sharkbait getting twitter! He has the humor that would rock Twitter’s world.
Yes, yes. Fix that…please.
Are you talking to Peter, or me?
‘cos the twitter thing aint gettin’ fixed no time soon.
You’re a grumpy little fish, Sharkbait.
You just call everyone grumpy when they’re speaking the truth!
Oh Lainie! Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone just agreed with you?
Weird. I have WordPress, and I sort of have that option. I didn’t choose it, though, so I don’t know where it came from. If you’re looking at a single post on my blog, there are little links above the title that will take you to the previous and next posts, if they exist.
It’s theme specific. The designer can either put it in the theme or not at their option.
Nice new home! Enjoy. Love the welcome mat
I like the color gray – painted my office gray 3 years ago, but I didn’t know it stimulates creativity.
Wowie zowie. Roomy, with all these cool new features! I don’t even know what most of them are.
What happens when I click THIS?
Oops… Sorry.
Very cool, Katdish. Love your header.
LOVE it!!
Welcome home!
Woohoo! Way to be, Katdish!
That header’s awesome! Very nice here. Looks a tad familiar, though. I was going to accuse you of theft from my blog, but then I remembered you did my blog for me.
I’d just like to say that the header was my idea and my work (Katdish just found the font).
I’m only saying that because it’s one of the only things in web design I’ve ever done that I’ve thought even vaguely looks good!
Oh, like I’d ever let you forget that.
Katdish,
Thank you for the kind words.
Umm, but you said this was going live on Friday. It’s not Friday yet, even in Texas!
Give me the list and I’ll pick and chose which ones I want to do for you
Oooh, what’s that orange box with the white cross thingy in it? Is that like a life-alert for your website? “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t blog….”
Click it and see, Marni.
I dare ya!
If that’s the case Marns, you should probably get one of those for your blog. #justsaying
Sticks and stones my friend…sticks and stones.
Love the new site! It looks somehow…familiar
Best of luck to you with all the tweaking and all that “fun” stuff.
Liking the new site! A lot easier to comment. The Standard Theme is pretty great.
Second attempt at commenting. I must have clicked that thing that Steph clicked because I got “error processing your request.” And I didn’t even make a request. Hmmm. Granted, I was on my phone and it looks mighty spiffy there, too, but can’t see the fancy header.
Peter, Katdish didn’t find that font – it found her. Wandering. Aimless. In SkyMall.
So glad you have space. Lots of space. Time to bring back Awesome Cat.
Okay, but where to put Awesome Cat? Maybe I’ll remove that pesky What I Learned Today button and replace it with Awesome Cat.
“Pesky.” Uh huh. I wouldn’t kick a redneck to the curb, even if you are the boss of him.
Or you could make what Steph refers to as “the grainy big head” a little smaller.
oooh! Look at you! This is so much more open than your old place! I just love it!
