After I launched my last post, I decided on a whim to redesign the blog site. Do you like it? I do. I hope you do. If you don't ... sorry?
You may have noticed that some things have changed or moved around a bit, so I figured I'd give you a quick tour.
The newest addition that you will find is a link to subscribe to my blog by email. Look up in the righthand corner for the word "Subscribe," next to the "Search" and menu links. Click the link, and a screen will pop up for you to enter your email address. Voila! Now, new posts will show up in your inbox. Someone asked me about a subscription option a few months ago, and I finally figured out how to add it.
Next is a feature that was part of the last design, but maybe you didn't know what it was, and that's the menu. Again, in the upper right corner, you'll find three horizontal lines, which you are just supposed to know are for the menu. If you click that, a sidebar will appear with a bunch of stuff you might be interested in checking out, like my profile, archives, links to my banjo-related freelance writing and other stuff. Let's run through the menu options.
You have to scroll down to see everything. At the very top is my profile. You get a quick snippet about me, and then you can click "Visit Profile" to see some other information about me that hasn't been updated in a very, very long, long time. You can find my first blog that was all about when I used to be a marathon runner. It's really not worth clicking the link. Just keep scrolling down.
Next you'll see another fairly new addition, a quick contact form. If you want to write me a love letter or hate mail, send me a tip or suggest a topic for future blog posts, then this is an easy way to do it. Enter your name, email and message and hit "send." Easy, peasy. Please don't actually send me hate mail.
Finally, further down, you'll find the Archive and Labels dropdown menus, where can easily find past posts or look up common topics. Below that is a place to like the Glory-Beaming Banjo Facebook page. A little lower is the link to some freelance articles I've written that are related to the banjo. Lower still, you'll find some links to other likeminded blogs to check out. At the very bottom is the Mark Twain quote that gave name to this blog site.
I hope you enjoy the new layout. It seemed like a new year merited a new look.
