Preview New Design and Guest Post Invitation

It’s been about 7 months since I’ve had this new design. I love it, and it’s served me well, but I’m going to be modifying it slightly. One of the biggest constructive criticisms I got was that there is too much distraction that takes away from the articles. Particularly the large header.

I’ve taken that, as well as other considerations into account. I’ll give you a quick peak at what the top of the blog will look like. I’m not sure when this will be finished - possibly after I’m back from vacation.

Vacation

Between the 29th of June and the 13th of July I will be on vacation. This is an organized trip that is going to Budapest, Vienna, and then to Israel for most of the trip. There are about 40 peers in our group, 7 of which are among my very best friends as well as my girlfriend. This is basically going to be a trip to remember.

I’ll take plenty of pictures and set up my flickr page for you guys to see. The new design should have a flikr area in the sidebar as well. Perhaps I’ll even take the Everio digital camera with me, it’s the best.

Guest Authors

I know that all of the people reading this site are very much interested in personal development. Perhaps even have a blog of their own or a great story to share. I am inviting you to submit an article to the site. The deadline is Wednesday the 25th of June. Please see the contribution page for additional details.

Feedback welcome
