Blog Face-Lift
Spent the past few days evenings/early mornings testing some different WordPress Themes. I feel that it’s time for something a little more streamlined.
Note to self: Thoughts on “feelings” for future post.
I think the term used by the artistic folk is “minimalist”.
Hmm? Wonder if I should have been sipping on a Starbuck’s Double Tall Grande Extra Foamy Low-Caff, Half & Half, Al Pacino Cappuccino, when I said “minimalist?
Anyway… another reason for the experimentation with a new theme is to implement some different widgets; specifically the “Top Commenter” widget, which still is flaky.
I’m really hoping to get the widget working correctly soon, as I would like to commemorate the “official” 100th comment (excluding mine of course) for the Got Fruit (?) blog, with something special. The final details have not been hammered out yet, but plans do include a giveaway. Additionally, I’ve been in discussion with the Finance Department, and it’s not been 100% ruled out to give away… A new car!
Maybe we’ll just go with a ticker tape parade along with press release & a photo shoot.
… don’t hold your breath. 
Until then, be good & be blessed.
Grace and peace be with you.
I like the new layout. I don’t always like 3 column themes (I’m too easily distracted) but this is very clean and neat.
I like the Got Fruit(?) logo as well. Although perhaps I just never noticed it before!

Thanks “E.B.”, my ego appreciates your feedback and compliments. The need for a 3 column setup came about as a result of the blog “evolving” I suppose… felt a need to open things up a bit more to visitors; to hopefully make them feel more welcome and a part of Got Fruit(?). Plus, needed room for a widget to showcase the new car giveaway details for whomever is to be the semi-official 100th visitor.
Thanks again for visiting.
Grace and peace be with you.
Hey Christopher!
I hope I’m not too late for the “100th visitor!” and am still in the running? I see Pistol Pete has surpassed me in commenting - dang! cuz’ my daughter gets her driver’s license next year so that new car might really come in handy - haha!
Anyway, like the new look of your blog and I will definitely have to come back when I have a little more time to really check it out. And that mouthful made me laugh btw - Al Pacino Cappuccino! I think that’s worse than mine, “ya, can I have a grande soy no water chai.” “A what?” In Seattle they understood me;) ttyl and God’s blessings!

Everyone & anyone is still in the “running” to be the semi-official 100th commenter. Heck, who knows, it might be one of the guys that leavis comments for cheap meds that will win, or perhaps one of those nice folks with investing tips for me, they are so thoughtful… (sarcasm mode now terminated)
Pistol Pete has actually had the honor of being “Top Commentor” for a while, the silly widget was giving me fits, by not reading all of the comments (could have been the end-user though
). Took a couple of late nights of digging around to solve the problem.
Yea, the new look is growing on me… not much of a fan of the color “red” but I have to say that with the blog, “I’m diggin’ it!” As for the car…
