Renovation complete (after too many nights of caffeine)
June 29, 2006
It occurred to me that you might feel a little left out because I went and changed my site without any sort of warning.
If you're a long-time reader, you know that I am a somewhat fickle site maintainer, so really, this change should come as no surprise. But! To satisfy your curiousity, I've written a condensed version of my capricious ways in the About: This Website section.
Graphic design was created by my award-winning and totally hot husband, Roger.
Site code was created by me making tiny changes and then holding my breath while I refreshed my screen to see what I managed to screw up. Finally, it all came together. I probably hit "republish" three million six hundred thousand forty two times. Yes, that many. Maybe more.

I like the look, Little Miss Chirky. I had never even heard of the word chirk but I think it's great that you've made it your own.

Puuuuurty. So puuuurty! I love the soft green. Your site is lulling me into a sense of warmth and security.
Chirky!

NOOOOooooooo.
JES! I must speak my mind and I must say that I have mixed feelings. I love the layout and design... but I am a creature of habit and JustSayJes... (JES! ...I'm just saying.) is gone forever! I will miss it. So, go ahead and be all "Chirky" because I am sad... and I need some cheering up.
(Nice Design and all though... I really mean that.)
*Sigh*

Ben: I understand your reservations. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, too.
But! Just think! You're no longer in the box!

Love your new site. Chirky sounds like a name of a kind of bird.

Wow! Out with the old and in with the new eh? Congrats on your new home!

YAY, you've revealed the new design (love it by the way . . . . I feel somehow like I am in Japan during the height of cherry blossom season). And CHIRKY . . . . you are unique my friend.

I'm living vicariously through you as you redesign your page over and over again. I totally should've done a redesign before I had that baby. Now I'll have to wait 17 years and 7 months. Dangit.

gorgeous. i *heart* it.
aren't you tired from all that moving around you do?
Posted by: amanda sue | July 1, 2006 04:33 PM
Chirky, eh?
I dig it... but next time I'd appreciate a little consultation before hand, ok?
Posted by: Courtney | July 2, 2006 07:49 PM
LOVE IT!
And now I know who to bother when I get around to redesigning my site and I hit refresh and discover I've killed off seventeen features that I really enjoy...like the ability to, you know, post!
Seriously, what blogging platform are you using? Do you love it?
Posted by: Daily Tragedies | July 3, 2006 03:12 PM
I like it! And I like the color. AND!!!! You made me a ready-made blog button on the JSJ page with the announcement that you moved.
ROCK ON!!!

Loves it.
I have also been watching a lot of the Simple Life lately and I love Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie because they are so onery and they make me laugh. (I almost spelled laugh with an F - laff - then I thought of laffy taffy and then that song shake that laffy taffy...)
Anywho... Love the colors fo the site and the fact that the header image isn't chopped off anymore. YEAH. Now are you going to be available on the 15th or not? Why you holding out on me?

What the heck does Chirky mean?
Posted by: steve | July 6, 2006 02:28 PM
ok fine... i found it
Posted by: steve | July 6, 2006 02:31 PM
I will miss "Just Say Jes" - I loved that! But change is good, and the site looks lovely.
So, what is "chirky"?
Posted by: Lia | July 7, 2006 11:20 AM
Two people now have asked about the origin of the word "Chirky" and why I've used it.
This is why you must take advantage of all the fun links I have in the sidebar! This specific question is answered in the About: This website page.
