New look, new home, new job

Oh, look, my blog has a new look and a new home over on WordPress! I wrote a big post about the all the changes but it got swallowed as I moved the site over from the test directory.. so I’ll just say I hope you like it, some bits are still in-progress but let me know if you spot any glaring boo-boos.

Also, as of 3 weeks’ time I will be a freelance designer – sad to be leaving the awesome Poke but I’m looking forward to doing my own projects, having time to learn more skillz and working for some smaller clients. Exciting times…

    I love the new website!

    Congratulations on going freelance – you’ll never look back. I thoroughly recommend it, even when juggling two careers, home and family.

    I know testimonials can be super cheesey, but if you want one for a prospective client, it’s yours.

    Love the new layout. You continue to amaze! Good luck with the freelancing. It’s a very brave move, but I know it’ll be a great one for you and full of success! x

    Love the new site (the colour scheme is very tasteful, and the twitter bird is so sweet), plus echoing everyone else’s sentiments, many congrats on going freelance! As long as you can resist the pull of long lie-ins and daytime TV (or in my case, being lured to the pub for a few hours’ wine-assisted blogging), I’m sure it’ll be the best decision you ever made.

    And if you ever feel like ditching the freelancers’ uniform of pyjamas and fancy sharing tips on the best cereals to eat out of the box for lunch, (I’m not really bigging up the freelance lifestyle here, am I? It’s fantastic, really!) there’s a great army of fellow freelancers always crying out for an afternoon’s company in town whenever you put out the call on Twitter. Enjoy the dive into your new world!

      I think I’ll need to put in a concerted effort to not turn into a perma-pyjamaed hermit ;)
      Do you ever go to #freelancefriday, supposed to be a fun monthly ‘lancers meetup.
