If you've visited jaquelle.ca within the last 12 hours, you've undoubtedly noticed some changes. The site has officially got a face lift - thanks to my winning website designer, Dad. While he didn't create the theme, he implemented it and helped adapt it to what I want.
Here's a quick overview of what's new:
1. The colors and layout. The previous jaquelle.ca was all about pinks and girly frills. But that doesn't really represent my readership. I wanted to pick a theme that was cleaner, less girly, and broader in appeal.
2. Social media. I've joined Instagram now (you can follow me here). There's also easier access to my Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts. All of my social media links can now be found in the colorful little boxes at the top of the right sidebar, under, "Follow Me."
3. More posts on a page. As you scroll down the homepage, you'll notice you can see more posts now. This is due to the fact that instead of full posts being shown, only excerpts now are. You can click, "Read More" to be taken to the full post.
4. Buttons at the bottom. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page, you'll see links to two other places where you can find my writing - Brave Mag and TheRebelution.
5. Resources and pages. All of my About and Resource pages have been updated and are current.
6. Popular labels. If you're looking for old posts with a certain theme, you can see about 20 of my most popular labels on the lower right sidebar. If a post isn't in there, you can easily search it in my new search bar.
Besides that, all of the content is the same and all of the pages are still there. Let me know what you think of the new site - drop me a comment or send me an email at jaquelle@jaquelle.ca.
I'm excited about this updated platform as I continue to write and learn and explore the gospel in this online home of mine. Soli deo gloria.
