Just a quick note today to talk about some of the changes I’ve made, and am making, here on the Leap.

You’ve probably already noticed (if you’re reading this on the blog and not from the news feed) the site pages are a lot faster loading. I’ve trimmed, tweaked and streamlined some of the blog and plugin coding to achieve this. I also pulled a single plugin that wasn’t getting as much use as I had hoped it would by visitors.

Now I’m working on a new theme for the blog that is cleaner and more reflective of my online life. Even though I blog here mostly about web working topics, the fact is my family and friends have begun to congregate here as well and look to this blog for news on what I’m up to (use Facebook you guys! LOL)

So anyway, I figure there’s no reason why I can’t be a little more personable and social here on my own blog and doubt it will turn away any regular readers who should be here for the content and not the packaging. Heck, it may help some regular readers and myself to connect better, we’ll see.

A funny thought came to me last night when I began sketching out the new layout design… this is the third November in a row where the “update your blog theme” bug has hit me.

How weird is that? I wonder if it has something to do with the seasonal change from fall to winter? Something like “if there’s snow on the lawn you must change your blog theme…”

So, that’s what I’m working on at the moment. Along with trying to catch up on some eMails from my overloaded Inbox. If you’ve written me recently please be patient, I will respond shortly.

Happy Hump Day!
