It looks a little different, right? But different is good! Especially in this case – different is faster, with better search capabilities and new Ladies. Welcome!
If you look over yonder at Ye Brande Newe Welcome Page, you’ll find a lot more information about what’s new and what’s different, and what’s coming with the continued evolution of the new site. A note to those of you using screen readers and other tools to make the site accessible for visual impairment: if you notice a problem or something sounds really weird, please let me know right away?
I hope you like the new design. I definitely do. And I want to say a big huge whopping thank you to the lovely folks at Waxcreative who moved the mammoth database that powers the Bitchery from one CMS to another – that was no small feat, either.
ETA: I’ve closed comments here, but you can totally comment on the Welcome page, which also has options for reporting any problems you find.
AND I forgot something: this page is responsive! So there’s spiffy designs for tablets and phones – when I looked it on my phone this morning I nearly fell out of bed I was so excited (I was, to be fair, trying to show it to my dog, who was not very interested, but still). So you should see a spiffy new design and be able to comment and generally share in the mayhem on your mobile devices, too.
Champagne for all!
Your new digs are divine, absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE, and I mean LOOOVE, the search function. Brilliant as usual.
I love the new layout. The only suggestion I would make is that you should have a heading for Elyse’s knitting patterns :-).
@Lynnd: I will work on that! Have to figure out where to put it… HMMMM.
@Jan: I love the new search, too. I mean LOVE it. 🙂 Thank you!
Aaaand I realized I’ve split the comments into two locations. OOOPS. Design commenting is over here – my apologies!
@Lynnd:
I wanted to make sure I shared this with you: we added Elyse’s knitting pattern to our “Greatest Hits” page:

Knitting is way important!!
