As you can see, lots of changes around here. There are still a few areas to clean up, and more changes to come next week for the Quilt Shop Locator.

A brief run down on some of the changes…

• cleaner look, lots of white space
• lots of colour, reminds me of Spring
• the Quilting Gallery Blog no longer appears on the front page, however, three teasers for the latest posts do
• prominent placement, on every single page, of members from the Quilt Shop Locator
• randomly featured free projects and videos on the home page
• each section of the site clearly identified with right navigation no longer over-lapping between sections
• new advertising spots
• and best of all, room to GROW!

I’d love to hear your comments.

… Quilting Bloggers that is to reach 2,500!!!

Go invite your friends, please.

Have a wonderful Sunday (or Monday if that’s what it is where you are)

Michele

UPDATE – March 2, 2009: The Quilting Bloggers directory surpassed the 2,500 mark last night. When I first started this, I really had no idea it would grow so much. I’m aiming for 5,000 by the end of the year. How’s that for ambitious!

I’m switching the Quilting Gallery over to a new server tonight. Everything is ready and working.

Please don’t leave any comments or sign up for the Quilting Bloggers or Quilt Shop Locator at this time.

The new server is very fast, and you should notice improvements right away.

See you on the flip side.

Michele

UPDATE: If you’re seeing this update, then you’re on the new server. Please let me know if you see anything that isn’t working properly. Thanks!

Hi folks,

Sorry, this site is so slow the past few days. I’m working on a solution, but it might be a few more days before it’s fully solved. So not what I needed to do this week. Oh well, it’s all for the best, and we’ll be super fast by the weekend.

More soon,
Michele

Today is the last day to vote in the Falling Leaves Photo Contest.

A new contest, with a twist, will be announced later today (or tomorrow).

I’m about to flip the switch to move this site to a new web hosting company. If you see a big red banner at the top of this page, that means you are seeing this site on the OLD server. Do not make any changes, as they will be lost.

This includes entering comments, submitting a site for the Quilting Bloggers directory, reporting on a blogger site, submitting a site for the Quilt Shop Locator and updating your Quilt Shop Locator profile.
