New Layout

a stream

Things have changed a bit here as you can see, after 3 1/2 years with the same layout I thought it was time to change a little, not too much because I like the old one and I really identify Lucullian with it so I kept the header but added some more space for text and photos as well as in the margin. I have moved the About page and the Recipe Index to the menu bar under the header where you also can find links to my portfolio site and to RedBubble where you can buy calenders and cards with my photos. There are still things to add but that will come. I didn't do this myself because that would mean too much to learn before I could even start on the project so I did it with the help of the lovely Ellie over at Rainy Day Templates with whom it was a true delight to work! I hope you like it and that it makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for here on Lucullian!

  3. I love it Ilva, Ellie is a very clever lady. I would love to change mine, but not sure what to do to it. It needs a spring in it...:-)

  5. It's nice with a change now and then! I like this one, most of it I think because your pics get more space. And the comments (never liked the haloscan very much) function too. Good job!

  6. I like your new layout.
    I've been in the mood for change too. I started a new blog, I got tired of my poppy fields...looking for new inspiration. I hope you'll follow me over.

  12. Hmmm. It's great that the photos are (seemingly) larger, and less encumbered by text around them--but I find the ad (under your profile photo) more distracting than it had been before. Perhaps the brightness of the redesign draws attention to it more readily. Would it be possible to move it elsewhere on the page (to the bottom, for example)? It shouldn't be cheek by jowl with the first photo/post of the day.

  25. Superfin! Har sett sidan ett tag och klickat mig runt lite. Så mycket bra och fina funktioner som finns nu. för att inte tala om denna lilla kommentarsruta! Har inte sett något liknande någonstans :-D Det går ju att fixa och trixa en hel del - nästan som min egna edit-sida i blogger juh ;) Håller med om att bloggersidan kan bli lite begänsad med tiden. Man lär ju sig mer saker hela tiden och kommer på saker som skulle vara trevligt att ha på sin sida. 

    Och fotona fortsätter få mig att glömma bort tid och rum!! Min gamla dator orkade inte hänga med i svängarna längre och jag har under större tiden av året använt en pytteliten minidator som kräver mycket scrollande. Till och  med svårt att ordentligt gå  genom mina egna bilder från kameran. Och nu i höst har jag äntligen fixat mig en ny lite större dator så jag kan blogga och hålla på igen så är ironiskt nog dina bilder ännu större och får inte helt plats på skärmen. Men, men värre saker har jag varit med om ;)

      Ja, det är riktigt flott här hos dig! Vi ses!

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
