To celebrate the start of rainy season on Roatan, I decided a blog overhaul was long overdue. (aka = I’m cooped up inside with nothing to do at night because it’s raining like nobody’s business.) It’s kind of like when you change from your summer wardrobe to your winter wardrobe, except here it just means you put on a rain jacket over your shorts and tank top cause it’s still hot out. I also figured 150 posts was enough reason to celebrate with a new look (yay). I was getting a little tired of the old theme, it was just a bit too noisy for what I’m doing these days. I’m streamlining everything around me in an effort to make life easy, including this site.
This beautiful, clean, minimalist new look is here thanks to the fabulous work of Lisa from Lisa Davies Design. If you use Blogger, look no further – this lady has got you covered. Her designs are super sharp and she dealt with my pain in the ass questions and repeated requests for ‘re-dos’ due to my retarded instructions with a smile and a giggle. It’s also really affordable (while I save up for an entire site overhaul by the infamous Hannah!) which, for a poor dive instructor like me, is important…until my site starts making me millions… that happens, right? Anyway THANK YOU Lisa, you are the best!
I did a lot of the installing and editing myself, so I would love to hear if you find anything wonky or broken. If so, please take it as a testament to my Googling skills and not Lisa’s talent!
thanks sarah for thinking of me and snapping this pic at the airport! |
Disclaimer: I did not receive any sort of discount or compensation from Lisa Davies for this blog design. I just happen to think she is a rockstar and wanted to share the info.

So fresh! I like!
And get rid of captcha pretty pleaseeeee!

Thanks! Part of the reason for the overhaul was to implement a different commenting system…I hate the Google/Blogger one, but with my old template it wouldn't support any other platform. I hate the captcha too, I'm sorry 🙁 but I was getting SO many spam comments and got tired of deleting them after! Any suggestions??

Michelle says
Love it! Easy on the eye, lots of white space. Makes this ex-design student very happy 🙂
CubicleThrowdown says
Oooooooh that is a big compliment! Thanks Michelle! I have no background in design or anything, so I'm glad to hear it looks good to you 🙂

Jacquie @ Must for Wanderlust says
Looove the new look! Simplicity for the win. I need to pay someone to do mine stat 'cause I seriously fail… & that sign, amazing. x
CubicleThrowdown says
Thanks Jacquie!! I'm loving it too. So funny – the title of her template for this was Simplicity 🙂 Yeah, I'm no good at it either, that's why I always outsource to those with talent! xo
