and there’s even a new profile picture. i have to keep ben happy.
(which reminds me, daley hake took a few pictures of me last weekend. he’s amazing. hire him.)
anyway, i’d love to hear your feedback.
and that means if you’re an RSS reader, you need to click on over.

Liking the new design – more and more these days I’m liking simple and clean. Good job!!
Low saturation. Nice work. Very good looking!
Very nice design Anne, congrats!
very svelte.
New design looks great! Love your new photo…very nice.
J.
I like it!
i likey
love it. i love how clean it is. makes my eyes feel good.
It’s cool. Like you.
Looks sweet! I love the photos, I think I said that already but they are really good!
looks good,
Im a huge fan of simple and soft on the eyes.
very nice….how did you come up with it?
Cute photo :)
What are we talking about? Oh yeah…nice cleaner look.
Howdy. My wife (@kristicw) and I are fans; thought I’d stop by and comment, since blog design is a favorite hobby.
Overall, I commend you for cleaning up the signal/noise ratio. There’s fewer distractions, and that’s great (esp. with so many social network widgets and the like these days).
However, I think the type is way, way to light. It’s practically unreadable. It’s also much too small. With screen sizes getting ever bigger (I’m on my 19″ iMac, but kick it on dual 23″s at work), keeping type this small bucks the trend.
Are there reasons you’ve kept the type so light, and so small?
A great example of a clean, high-key design: Khoi Vinh’s Subtraction.
Consider boosting the font size from 1.0 em to 1.2 or more. Let me know if you’d like some more detailed CSS suggestions.
I love it!
Looks like a girl’s blog….oh wait, it is! —-(I like it, nice work)
good look anne. you have to make your posts shorter now though, less room for text on this one. well….i guess that doesn’t matter.
Yeah, I really like you in that purple shirt.
I keep coming back. :) Like the simplicity of your new design, and love your profile pic.
Love the new look! Very simple and easy on the eyes. The picture is nice, it makes you the star of the page!
I hate to be negative, but the type is very hard to see! Too small for me! Nice picture though!
It looks great
thanks everyone.
i have been a user of this font size for the last three years so….not willing to budge that! :) especially since most of my traffic is RSS based so you guys see it first somewhere else. :)
but i did darken the color to another shade of grey.
muchas gracias!
this will never work….this site is clearly not conducive to community….and with global warming things are even worse….clearly it isn’t working because you only had 22 comments in 5 hours in the middle of the night….this is going to so kill your influence…your blog queen title my actually be in jeopardy!
:-)
wait, the links are still rotating… ha.
looks fantastic. love the simplicity, doesn’t over stimulate the reader! just my two cents! :)
I like it a lot. And the picture of you is my favorite of all I’ve seen so far.
I like the simplicity and the font/color works, even for those of us who are in denial about reading glasses ;) I read on a reader, but glad I clicked over here!
Anne,
Very cool design and great pic. I’m a RSS Reader, so thanks for the heads up to click over!

I’ve got a group from lifechurch.tv (both Nashville & Oklahoma City) here in Detroit with me this weekend doing our worship. So, I’ve been thinking about and praying for all of my ‘blog friends,’ like you, all weekend.
Oh, and I was also hangin’ out with the North American rep. for Compassion International the last few days – so, again, you came to mind.
Have a brilliant Sunday Anne – and, oh, the new look is nice.
Really love the redesign! Hope you are enjoying the South!!!
more flowery and less dusty…I like
I love it! It seems like everyone is changing their design right now.
Its beautiful!!
I really like the re-design and the pictures are amazing. I saw one of them on his site earlier in the week…He is awesome!
Nice redesign. Very conducive to the heavy commenting you typically get. Plus, I’m a sucker for a minimalistic theme. You’re blog is great all-around.
Come out of my reader? Only for you, Anne.
Very cute!
Cool new look. :) When you are in the South long enough, you’ll learn it’s really “y’all”. ;)
love the new look. very classy!
blessings,
k
anne – clean and simple. just my style. upgrade!
Although I have been in the tech business for 15 years now, I am fairly new to blogging. I have visited hundreds of sites in the last few months and I really enjoy your style of writing. I am a fan of simple, clear and functional web designs and your new one has that. Now if only I can do the same!
Rockin’ design! Btw, it’s y’all, not ya’ll :) Love the clean look/feel! Definitely the way to go!
Love the pics! You’re awfully pretty!
i like the picture…and the header, but I did like the gray (didn’t you have a gray background? now i can’t remember b/c I”m usually an RSS reader too.
:-)
