SURPRISE!! We Dropped the Bomb a Little Early!! We Could NOT Wait Another Day!! Here's Our New Site's Look!



I know that we said we were going to unveil the site's new look at the end of the contest, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to wait another day!!  So, here it is.  We hope you like it!  Surprises are always fun anyway, right??
To be fair, 99% of credit for our site's new look goes to PIXIE!
She has been absolutely wonderful, patient, and mostly hard working!  Working with Pixie, we saw a vision become a reality. 
The best part is Pixie runs her own review site.  Please check out her site PAGE TURNERS.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?????
PLEASE GIVE US YOUR HONEST OPINION!
We absolutely love our new site and and are so psyched about it!
Enjoy, and look for more exciting news coming tomorrow about some fresh, new updates to the MEGA Contest....(usually updates mean more books and prizes to give away...SSShhh, don't tell anyone!)
CIAO!

    Three girls and a guy- I guess that explains the purple. But then, purple might be Dave's favorite color. You never know.

    Looks great guys! Love the header.

    I like this, because purple is my favourite colour. (It ties for first place with green in my affections.) With the big black text, it's easy to read. The comments, in a darker purple, are also legible, but I prefer the black because of the greater contrast. I was really worried that I wouldn't like the new look, but this has been a pleasant surprise. The button is also very striking. Well done, Pixie and all of you! :D

    I like all of it except for the Comment section. The purple font on the purple background is kind of difficult for me to read. Other than that, it does indeed look awesome. Great job folks.

    OMG! What a surprise, indeed!

    From green to purple... at first I was quite shocked and disoriented; I thought I was on the wrong blog =P. But then I saw the header proudly proclaim The Lateiner Gang Book Review Spot, and I knew you had gotten your desired effect on me. ^_^

    Honestly, the new look is awesome! Congratulations to you all! The heading is particularly well-done.

    What's the button for, though? What do you do with it?

    Thank you everyone for commenting on the new site's look. Honestly, we could not have done it without Pixie. Most of all for her patience with ME!

    Magenta,
    The buttons are basically a new way of saying on your site that these are the blogs you visit or are friendly with. Instead of putting up a link with the name, now buttons are the "it" way to link to a friends site. Shortly, we will have a button section (scrolling I hope) for those out there that we visit their site and have one. I can email you about it more if you want. It would be cool if you made one!

    Dave

    I love the Garbage Pail Kids picture. A lot of people here are probably too young to remember them, but I do :)

    Nice new look! But I do have to agree with Logan that the purple on purple for the comment section is a little...well...purple.

    Congrats on the unveiling!

    It's a bit purple for me, but it does look more neat and tidy.
