I have had a little facelift

Yes it is true. Last night, I thought it necessary to go to Wordpress to be able to spread myself more generously across the page, but what is this? Thanks to the advice of 'Anonymous'*, "Minima" has become "Minima Left Stretch", so although some of my photographs (all of them of near-Avedon brilliance) may be a bit wonky, on the whole I am pleased.

But it is you I am caring about !!! Do you like it, or did you like it more before? Would you rather it was stretched out, but with the sidebar on the right? It is possible to have a timed demonstration, so let me know and I will react accordingly.

As Cara Elizabeth Berk once so very rightly said: why IS everything so awesome on the internet?







**Update**: It was 'Left Stretch', but after having listened to you, my loyal and adoring readers, we are back to just 'Stretch', i.e. sidebar on t'right. You may think this is boring; I hope not, and trust that even if you have been 'put off' by recent template-chat, you will nevertheless return day after day to see what new loveliness is spurting out of my talented little monkey fingers.

*The best and worst comments are often anonymous, which tells me that those that remain anonymous are either cowards of the highest order OR full of kindness and humility

I'm liking the stretching but I'm a creature of habit and I was used to the links down the right hand side.
I'm not a coward (not on the internets anyway) and yet neither could I refer to myself as full of kindness and humility - I just can't be arsed to create yet another google account aside from the ones I need for work.

I prefer the sidebar on the right, but that's because I'm like Anonymous and Mog (who didn't want things to be exciting, she wanted them to stay the same); as Lord Salisbury said, "Why all this talk of change, when things are bad enough as they are?".

Is that better with it on the right? I wanted it to stay the same but without those huge white margins down each side - it felt poky and ungenerous. Yeah!

Glad you liked my suggestion of alternate template. Like the others, I also prefer the sidebar on the right (I'm a creature of habit) - there is a 'Minima Stretch' template which keeps it on the right, as an alternative to 'Minima Lefty Stretch', it's located in the same section as the Lefty Stretch.

But then again, sometimes change is good :)

New comers to this post: the sidebar was on the right, then left; now it is back on the right. Yes.

Anonymous (all of you), are you drunk?

Ermm, I think that whatever makes you happiest is the best way. Whenever you're happy then we're happy. OK? Happy?

Complicated sites take ages to load on Norfolk's horse-drawn broadband connections, so I am glad you don't have lots of picture backgrounds and stuff. Otherwise, do whatever makes you happy and (sorry, but it's true) the odds are, I won't notice.

NWM, i do like your page now,with the stuff on the right, of coursewe always have known that you are brilliant, no matter what size you are!

NON-WORKINGMONKEY said...

Hello everyone you are all amazing and I kiss you firmly but lovingly (in a platonic style) on your hand(s). I am very happy because it is like the old one (i.e. not a shock) but with more room for pictures of things, excellent "points of view", social commentary etc.

NON-WORKINGMONKEY said...

Oh, and Elle - no. Thank YOU.

I am the original anonymous poster on this thread and may I say, dear NWM, that the current view is perfection.
I have also revealed my identity - mwuhaha.

Arch Stanton and Birchsprite: I raise my glass to you, and shout "hoorah". Hoorah! (and thank you).
