I’m going to do something that some of you are bound not to like. Fortunately, I’m the webmistress here so you’ll just have to deal!
I’m going to be doing a bit of blog cleanup over the next few days as I prepare for the biggest and best redesign yet. Soon, thanks to some valuable personal advice from Jessica of What I Wore, a web designer, and my lovely boyfriend, Grown-Up Lessons will be easier to navigate, cleaner, and will hopefully load faster!
In order for me to fully make this transition, some of my prior posts will change a bit, some will lose their DISQUS comments as a move them from one post format to another, and others will disappear entirely. This is a necessary clean-up effort in order to make posts uniform under the new design.
I’m not tearing my hair out worrying about losing valuable information and neither should you. If there’s a grown-up lesson to be learned from this I’ll probably have to learn it the hard way, but the truth is I’m just not that sentimental. I’d just as soon delete terrible bygone content and forget all about it than have an embarrassingly messy archive under later incarnations of Grown-Up Lessons.
In exchange for your understanding of the inconvenience of this redesign (and there will be HTML dust for the next couple of weeks), I promise that I won’t be selectively deleting any content in the future. I’m just trimming the dead branches now so that Grown-Up Lessons can grow into a bigger, more beautiful blog.
Please keep checking back for exciting new changes (and if you know anything about HTML and want to roll up your sleeves and offer your services, I’d welcome it)!
