    Redesign for Simple Marriage Project! Tell Me What You Think

    I am pleased to launch a new design for the Simple Marriage Project. I think it looks great! I have Dipankar to thank for this design.

    Now before you comment that this looks a lot like ZenHabits, let me explain a few things. Originally I was using the Grid Focus theme by Derek Punsalan, but then again, so were many other bloggers. Hence the reason for the change.

    My goal was to take the best aspects of the blogs I have enjoyed and incorporate them into one design. If you copy from one source, its plagiarism, if you copy from several sources, its research. After “researching” other popular blogs and following Skellie’s advice, I am pleased to present this redesign.

    Please let me know what you think in the comments below. Please point out any bugs that need to be fixed as well. We’ll work to correct everything needed over the next week.

    Update: I realize now that some Internet Explorer browsers cut off the left margin. We are working to correct this. Thank you for your patience. If you are experiencing this issue, you could try converting to Firefox or another browser. It looks great in other browsers. I bet once you make the switch, you won’t go back to IE.

    Update of the update: Actually, the problems we are having are due to screen display sizes. This design was created for wider screens. We are working to fix the issues some of you may be experiencing.

    Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

    As the Kansas Jayhawks hoist the National Championship banner, I must take a moment and pay tribute to the state where I grew up and the team I have followed for a long time. Go Jayhawks!

    I’ve Turned to the Dark Side?

    A few weeks ago, my PC went on the fritz. And of course, it was right as I began a weekend slated solely for writing. After many failed attempts at rebooting, and failed attempts by the Helpdesk, I ran out and bought a Mac.

    After some fumbling around with the different shortcuts and configuring of things… I’m sold. I now use Quicksilver every time I’m on the computer, I’m also moving away from the Big Brother that is Microsoft. Although I will still use Office due to one of my jobs.

    I guess all that’s left before my complete indoctrination into the cult that is the Mac world is to pay homage to the almighty apple and give up my first born.

    While I don’t think I will totally stray from the PC world, or give up my first born, I will proudly use my Mac for all the world to see. In fact, just hours after purchasing, I was approached by a guy in the coffee shop in which I was writing with questions regarding my new toy.

    I used to be in the camp that sarcastically referred to Mac users as a cult vowing to take over the world. It looks as though I’ve joined the movement. Plus, my first born loves the little apple that lights up on the cover.

    about me

    My name is Corey Allan. It's nice to meet you. I began blogging during the summer of 2007 with the belief that it's possible to get more out of marriage and life. Blogging seemed like a great way to share ideas and find others who want more as well. With your help, our little project can change the world.
