Centsible Life roundup: New look

February 6, 2010

in blogging

Have you seen the new digs?

I purchased the The Thesis Theme for WordPress*, and changed things around. I’m still not done, but I’m kind of impatient (and I don’t know how to build a development site). Have suggestions on improving my look/layout, I’d love to hear them. If you are reading this in email, or on a feedreader, you will have to click through to the Centsible Life.

This week I wrote at several other spots, you can find me at:

Moolanomy: 25 best iphone apps for personal finance-we all know iPhones are expensive, but these apps will help you save money, and help you manage your money effectively and quickly.

Consumerism Commentary: Fitness: Physical or Fiscal? I discuss ways you can save money on health costs. One we use often is avoiding the ER. Unless it’s a real emergency I call the doctor on call to ask questions, though usually some rest and TLC is enough to help us get past most illnesses.

SpringPad: Have you tried out Springpad yet? I think this may be my new go tool organizing tool. You can save or “spring” various items including products and web pages. I made a list of 15 frugal Valentine’s gifts. You can read more about it on the SpringPad blog.

I will be sharing the story of how we bought our 2nd car later today, and running around trying to get everyone healthy, and hair cuts before another snow storm hits our area on Wednesday.

If you are from the Philly area look for me on the 10! show tomorrow morning between 11 and 12. I will be sharing  some of the frugal Valentine’s ideas I saved over at Springpad, and I have a super special giveaway for Philly area people that I’ll be unveiling tomorrow morning!

    Kelly,

    I like it a lot! I would check out the test drive plug in – it allows you to play with the theme, but only you, the admin, can see the unfinished product. Everyone else sees what you choose.

    Looks great

    I like the look and thanks for the post on Springpad blog about the 15 Valentine’s Day gifts. Also, major thanks for the link to the 25 best iPhone apps for personal finance. I didn’t even know that USAA had an iPhone app and I’m a member. Thanks!!!

    I like the look. I would change the color of your nav bar drop downs, when I hover I lose track because they just blend in with the content.
