Makeover!

Well, it's been a long time in the works, but I've finally updated the layout of our Shop Blog to match the rest of puppytoes.net. I realize the sidebar is probably a little yucky looking yet, but I'm trying to work a little bit on that.

The whole "one style" for all of puppytoes.net came about after registering our new domain, puppytoespoker.com. In hindsight, it was an "impulse buy", like the Three Musketeers bar I had to buy yesterday while I was at the store. It was there. In the checkout aisle. Looking at me. Well, same thing with the domain name. Except the candy bar was much better tasting.

I thought it would be way too confusing to have different domain names for all of the different aspects of the puppytoes.net store - puppytoespoker, puppytoesgeek, puppytoespuppy (!?), ad nauseum. So instead, there's one entry portal - puppytoes.net. It'll take you everywhere you want to go in Cragar's world - my own personal blog, Cragar's Photo Gallery, our Shop (of course), and this wonderful and fabulous Shop Blog. That's a lot of blogs for me to update. I'll try to do my best.

You'll find our Shop hasn't been updated with the new layout. I've been torn on that front. I think I'll keep the color scheme the same, but keep the layout a little different - just for fun. Or until I get bored. Or until I realize I should really have made it the same and change it all anyway. I'm used to changing things now here in Movable Type, but I'm afraid if I start messing around too much with my Shop's layout, things will Go South quickly. And then I'll end up redesigning everything from scratch. Not too smart at this point, considering this "insomnia time" is the only time I've found to mess around with layouts and designing much since oh, the end of April or so!?

I always thought my best ideas came after midnight. Too bad I didn't think of that before plunking down money on the new hosting account.
