Welcome To The New www.aliedwards.com

It's finally here.
I'm beyond excited to introduce you to the new www.aliedwards.com.
On and off for the last year I've been working with Rubber Design and Studio Aluminum to create this new online home. (Rubber Design is the firm behind that great tooth fairy bag I've posted about previously.) They've both been great partners in this process.
One of the biggest changes you'll find is that there are now two blogs. The first, AE Blog, is where you'll find stories about daily living, inspirational links, thoughts on scrapbooking & creativity, workshop & event updates, giveaways, etc. The second blog, AE Projects, is where you’ll find completed scrapbook layouts, memory projects, step-by-step written and/or video tutorials, product updates, etc. Use the drop-down Archives by Category over on the left to view posts by a specific category.
An almost-complete portfolio of many of my layouts and projects can be found under the About Ali tab along the top navigation by clicking on Portfolio. There's a new Shop link along the top that will take you to my products at Designer Digitals, Technique Tuesday, and Big Picture Scrapbooking. Eventually when I get those PDF's of my books done you'll be able to purchase them there.
There's definitely still some adjustments going on behind the scenes. There are links within the site on older posts that are in the process of being updated and forwarded to the right location.
I'm giving myself some room to grow and expand. Thanks for continuing to read, to support, and be a part of this journey.
Here's to a new chapter online!

Congratulations! It's a big job to do... redesign a Web site. A couple of things I noticed: The orange on the gray/green... very hard to read. I'm going to guess even worse if you are vision impared. Also, on the site, some of the orange text is links, some is not. I do love the navigation. And, of course, the simplictiy of the design.

Great feedback Karen - thank you. In the past I used orange as an accent rather than a link - going forward I'll use a different color as an accent and keep the links orange. And I agree about the orange on the grey in the portfolio section - let me see what we can do about that.

While I do love the new site...I'm not loving that I'm not able to subscribe to it through bloglines which means I'll fall behind. :( Am going to love going through your projects, etc. in this new design.

Congrats on the new site Ali. I enjoyed the clean lines of your old blog and am happy you have kept the same colours, etc. Just expanding, that's all.
Will you post on this blog when there is an update to the AE projects section? You are too inspiring for me to allow myself to miss something = )
