Hello New Twitter

Twitter has released a new design for their website. To get it though they say you have to update you mobile app first. Good call on their part. Do I like the new mobile app? Well that is still up in the air. I don’t know if I like the Mention/Interactions section. I don’t care what others are doing, just who is talking about me. Am I wrong?

The new Twitter Design is clean and sleek, I like it. I liked it so much I decided to change my Twitter Background for the first time in a year and a half. I also just changed my avatar for the first time in that long last week.

What do you think of the new Twitter? Who still isn’t on Twitter?

Janet has a wide variety of work, one of the most notable is her stuffed animals called Ptarmi. They were created from a cartoon she created based on the arctic chicken, the ptarmigan. Ptarmi took off from Yellowknife and has been seen around the world. Janet tells me how Ptarmi got its start and where it is going. Possibly another character will be coming to life.

As our conversation continued we get onto the topic of business. Janet wasn’t always a small business owner so she reflects on what it took her to make the switch, as well as offers advice for those who are thinking about starting their own business.

She has a successful stuffed animal, amazing art and a wide variety of clients she loves working with, she also has a wicked sense of humour. Janet Pacey is a smart lady and she shares some good information that we can all use going forward.

Be sure to check out her website and like his page on Facebook.

New Theme Design

Well I thought it was time for a new design. The old one was Grey (literally) so I wanted something more colourful and up lifting.

I think I found that in WooThemes Digital Farm. It still keeps the stereotypical blogging layout but adds some nice, easy to use features.

The header, which I did do myself, I got the idea from the demos header. Some say I’m not a rainbow type of guy but I think I will keep it for now as it really brighten up the look.

One of the big things as well is the revamping of the categories. I have added more in hopes I will write more here about what it is I do online all the time. But as it stands I hardly have anytime for that anymore so adding in writing about it just might not happen.

Enjoy.
