and then there were two...

Welcome to the brand new site design! Come on in and take a look around!

A special thanks to the hard work and dedication of kithan and a special thank you to the person who put it all together - gnomeangel.

There were some shocked whispers when I posted the new icon that she made and I'm sure there are going to be more now.

Sure, we've had our differences and one of those happened *in a way too public fashion*. But when "certain people" were scrambling around trying to exploit it, and misquote things for their personal gain, she and I were actually working toward making things right with each other. It may be a slow process. It may be a painful process. But it's what *friends* do - and gnomeangel is a friend of mine and a supporter of the one and only true Idol from early on. That hasn't changed and I hope it never will.

Heh, which should raise some eyebrows on what it actually *does* take to make me close that door on someone. Let's just say let's not find out this season ok?*G*

Anyway - I hope you enjoy the new design. I know I do!!!

Season 5 starts. . . really, really soon. . . tell your friends!!!

First!!

[gnomeangel.livejournal.com]

damn you!

thanks G! you're never gonna be able to get rid of me ;P

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

WTG, Kithan!!

And, I'm catching this, what, 14 minutes late? Dang!!

But...I LOVE the new site. It looks so modern and clean!

The typewriter banner rocks. You did a fabulous job, Miss Gnome!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Nice and clean. I like it!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

That was one of my requirements.

I've seen some other places that are just way too busy looking for my tastes. Both the old design and this one are about having clean lines and a crisp look that don't take away the attention from the writing, and the writers.

*really likes it a lot*

Idol really needed a good kick in the pants as I'd say...

change is good

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I've heard something about this "change"... tell me more.*g*

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

hehe I really like the new design, layout, and icon but I prefer the blinding pink of ?style=mine (which I know isn't Internet friendly). Still, good job!

If anyone chooses to check out my lj to test their eyes just know they've been warned.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Well you do warn people with your user name about "bright flashes"... I'm kind of surprised that the pink doesn't blink on and off! (Stop giving her ideas Gary...)

[norda.livejournal.com]

Good job, and I personally appreciate that the font is a decent size.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I hate it when even my glasses don't make it easier to read a journal.

edited comment i want to invest in paid accounts now...

[crowblood-heart.livejournal.com]

I like it because it's clean and fairly legible with lots of whitespace and good contrast, BUUUUUUUT tiny critique on my end is that the font size is a bit difficult to read(but I'm not sure if this is my computer or not).

forgot again

[crowblood-heart.livejournal.com]

also...does it remind anyone else of nanowrimo or do i just have crazy writing things on the brain

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

This is SO SWEET!

*loud clapping noises*

Bravo! Bravo!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

OOH!!!!

*starts wandering around, taking everything in...*

I love it!!!! YAY!!!!!!

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

Whoa, nice layout! Very NaNo-esque, which is less than two months away. Squee!

[angelic-oni.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. This is pretty. Very nice!

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Very cool!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I actually still have my old collection. (Sort of stopped picking them up at one point once I realized that I wasn't *actually* going to restore them like I planned!)

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

i'm glad you two were able to work things out! and the layout looks great!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Me too.

btw - just finished the new Burn Notice! Looking forward to next week.

[az-starshine.livejournal.com]

My husband is planning on participating this season! I'm so excited to hear that. :-)

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Very cool about the patching up of a friendship. I don't know what went on so I guess I'm in the dark and that is a good thing. Smile. What is the icon? Need description!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

You're back????

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Really really soon, huh? :):)

Gary, LOOKEE!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

How bout this cookie monkey??

Re: Gary, LOOKEE!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Damn you monkey!!!!!

[chite.livejournal.com]

Ooh! It's very pretty!

Very tired this morning, as I spent the night in the emergency room. bleh.

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Oh no! For you or your baby-man?

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*falls into some-what green room*

Had a great night last night reminiscing about old toys and shows we used to watch... (Captain Planet, Matchbox Cars, Littlest Pet Shop, Mad Ballz, Wrestling Buddies, etc) It made me love growing up in the 80s-90s.. ;)

I love the new design. Wonderful job to Miss Kithan and Ms. Gnomeangel. *sends Cheetos to Kithan and Take5s to Gnome* :^)

[gnomeangel.livejournal.com]

wok - i'm diabetic, you trying to kill me???

;) your sweetness alone puts me on high alert!

Hey Gary and Gnome

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Are you cool with people adapting the typewriter for a personalized LJ Idol icon?

Re: Hey Gary and Gnome

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

I was wondering the same thing!

Props 2 U

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

I like the new layout, and love the new icon! Two thumbs up!!!

[skimmed-miilk.livejournal.com]

I always prefer uncluttered layouts, so you get my thumbs up (yeah, like you need it...*deflate that ego*).

As a newb, I don't know of the issue you mention. But I will say, you have a very good way of handling things, a nice way with words. You could be a PR guru!
