Loading ...THANK YOUUUUU SHANE!
Whatcha think??
Shane did an awesome job. He was so very patient with an impatient, uneducated and green behind the ears blogger. It’s amazing how he transformed my lil’ ole’ blog.
So being one of the winner’s of the Health Care Today Take your Blog to the Next Level Contest has it’s rewards. Not only did I get some new digs, but getting help from Shane ‘The Web Guy’ has been and will be invaluable. He had to put up with a lot of emails from me this past week. I almost told him to just call me!! 
He started with having me pick out some themes I might like, and then started to customize it from there.
I liked the feel of this theme. It’s different and unique. The last portion was figuring out what was going to work with the theme, and what wouldn’t. Then it was setting up the official self-hosting and getting things set up online.
Cool thing about this theme, the Polaroid pic up at the top regenerates a new pic every time you visit this site. Which is pretty cool. Then there is the Flickr photo stream down at the bottom. All the pics are of places I’ve been. There are a number of pics with me in them… just not my front profile. 
I talked a bit with Shane about revealing my identity. I couldn’t decide either way, so I thought I’d do it in slow stages. LOL. So for now, if you take a gander at the photo stream, you’ll see my side profile as well as me from behind. (Hey.. it’s a start)
Please let me know what you think about the new digs. I’m curious to hear everyone’s opinion. And of course I’m open for any suggestions.
Once again I wanted to thank Shane over at Health Care Today, as well as Kim over at Emergiblog for bringing the contest to my attention!!!
Carpe Diem
VERY sexy!! I love the color scheme and the icons and the general layout. The header is fab! Great looking blog!
I have just a few things…
1. Can we have a comment button at the bottom of the posts? I kinda had to go searching for it.
2. Since the Flikr stream is not medically related, it would be great to have just a little blurb about it and what it means to you, perhaps in the header somewhere? I LOVE the pictures!!!!
All in all, great job. This is one very snazzy looking blog. Maybe I will have to hire Shane, myself, one of these days.
@ Caroline I agree with the comment button. I’ll have to ask the almighty Shane for his input. And the flickr stream I’m working on. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
Hey, I like this classy theme.
So, that’s why you never showed your head in your avatar before. You have no hair!
Oh, and the picture changes. Cool!
awesome! other than that, very cool. then, i’m speechless.
Wow, great new look, my friend.

@ Karin RN Heh heh.. it’s no secret. I shave my head!
@ May THANK YOU
@ Ken Thanks, I’m enjoying the new look
@ Kim I am as well!
@ Gemmerzz Thank you
@ rlbates Thanks
Very nice!
@ geena Thank you.
LOVE IT!!!
A question: The symbol in the left hand corner looks like the symbol for medicine but also a chinese character. Is there a story behind it?
Also love that you included your photos. It’s great personal touch.
@ Beth WOW! How very observant of you. And the answer to both those questions is yes and yes. LOL. It IS a combination of the caduceus and the chinese symbol for the year of the OX (my year of birth). I created it some time ago as a personal ‘trademark’. Thank you so much for asking!
