Meet The New ‘Nac
Posted on March 28, 2009 at 5:20 pm | No Comments
Well, here it is at last, a brand new look for the Almanac. Nine years since I started this place and about three years since I got sick of the old design – solid proof of some serious procrastination. Since I’m but a novice web designer, and even less of an artist, I owe this fit of html-motivation to the new logo you see up above. It comes courtesy of my super-talented friend (and Smittens bass player) David Zacharis, who graciously took my request and made it real. And I can’t thank him enough (seriously, he may get sick of me thanking him).
I’ve made lots of little changes, many of which you may not even notice, but one of the most important is this: You should probably update your Almanac bookmark. I’ve finally removed the old, dusty blogger.html part of my url, so you can now get here by going straight to www.bradleysalmanac.com. Don’t worry about the RSS feed, though… that remains the same.
A fresh coat of paint is as good an excuse as any to re-share the Almanac’s theme song, written well before the ‘Nac was ever the ‘Nac, by my old pals the Madelines…
This new design, which is really only the second makeover the ‘Nac has ever had, has gotten me extra-excited about the site again – the wheels are turning and the posts are being planned. Spring has sprung, a change has come, and good things are on the way…
