I thought it was time for a little, “The Chicago Files” makeover! As I was skulking past the beginning of historic, “Route 66” in downtown Chicago the other day, I was inspired to switch things up a bit back at the ‘ol blog. I suppose the word, “Begin” was my primary motivator; therefore, “begin again” is the theme of today (actually, my new WordPress theme name is, “The Bloggy Theme” for my fellow bloggers taking note in the Blogosphere).
I’ve also included a Twitter link on the right side of my blog.
Now, where did I put that new typewriter ribbon?? 🙂
Thank you so much for your continued support, and welcome to new readers, too!
Nice theme 🙂
Thank you so much! I was hoping it looked okay! I’m my own worst critic! Cher xo
You’re very welcome, and it looks great! Oh I know the feeling, I’ve had trouble picking a change of theme as well, still haven’t found one..
You have no idea how much I appreciate your words! Thank you so much! Yes, me too; it has taken me about 3 weeks to narrow it down. I really like the look of this theme with a typewriter feel to it. The photo was taken just for the blog so I like that, too! I love your blog the way it is, by the way! cher xo
Thanks so much, that’s very kind of you to say! I like the photo on your blog it’s real nice, trains do fascinate me, and the color scheme (gray) is pleasing to my eyes! 🙂
Your blog IS wonderful! I love trains, too! They are my favorite means of transportation. Ah, thank you regarding the grey; I wanted something to look good with the steel of the train and tracks! *LOL* It sounds as if I am coordinating pillows with the sofa, doesn’t it? *grin* cher xo
hehe 🙂 well, the coordination has paid off, brilliantly! 🙂 oh yeah train journeys are my favorite too!!
Ah, bless! Thank you so much!! There is something about trains!! As you can see in the photo, the train is literally traveling between buildings! I love it! Cher xo
indeed! that’s quite a sight, spent a moment just looking at it! you’re most welcome dear friend 🙂 🙂
🙂 🙂 and thank YOU my dear! Cher xo
🙂 🙂
Wow, I love your new theme, Cher, sassy, soothing and sophisticated, oh look, it’s you in a theme. 🙂
Big hugs, Donna. xox
Now tell me you haven’t made my entire week my dear!!!! Thank YOU so much, Donna! That is extremely kind of you to say!! *yeay* Big hugs, Cher xo
I like the new theme! it’s very urban 🙂
Yeay! *clink* Thank you, Andy! That was the whole idea, so once again, I knew you’d get it! 🙂 🙂 Cher xo
*clink*! 😊
;-P
Like the fonts – easy to read in the post and the old style ‘typewriter-esqe’ titles are great! And, like at least one of your other commenters, I’m dribbling at that train shot 🙂
Ah, thank you so much! I really appreciate your words! *grin* Oh yes, I’m really grateful to have this photo for the blog! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Cher xo
Reblogged this on georgeforfun.
I like it! Scary to make a change…Good for you. Bravo!
Thank you so much! Oh yes, I certainly felt scared to make this blog change! It took me soooo long to decide on a new theme that when I pushed, “SAVE & PUBLISH” I squinted my eyes in case I didn’t like it! *LOL* Cher xo
Proud of you. I’d be terrified! Great job!
Ah, thank you so much!!! Cher xo
Nice theme and layout.
Thank you so much! I hope I did the right thing in changing it all! Cher xo
Don’t worry about it. I say you did the right thing, and besides, change is good.
Agreed!!!! Thank you! Cher xo
You’re welcome. xo
This is a great new look, well done!! It looks great on my Galaxy S5 as well. 😍👍☀️
John, thank you so much! As a matter of fact, I’m glad you mentioned your Galaxy S5, as this particular theme is suppose to be (as WP calls it) “responsive”; in my words, it’s suppose to be clear on any device! *LOL* Good to know it is readable on your Galaxy S5, John! Cher xo
You bet, no worries! I am sure it looks great on the iPad too, if it renders so well on a tiny device like a phone. Be well. 🙂
Also good to know! If anyone is reading this on an iPad, I’m sure John is correct! 🙂 Thanks John, you as well! Cher xo
Looking good 🙂
Thank you so much, Norm!! Cher xo
Wow! What a surprise, Cher. I thought I was on the wrong blog for a minute. A drastic change, for sure. It’s going to take a little time to get used to it. It’s so different. You are playing with my head, Cher! Love the new photo. This theme is more like a newspaper. It suits your blog. Yes, I’m getting to like it now that I have adjusted my eyes!! Ha. I’m pulling your leg a little, Cher. I do like it!! 🙂
*LOL* Ah dear Carol! Thank you and you almost got me there! hehehehe Thanks! I wanted my blog to look more like a newspaper, an urban (retro) look whereby the good ol’ typewriter was still in use! Cher xo
Nice look, Cher. The image is very Chicago.
Thank you so much, Bruce! I am extremely fortunate to have this photo for my blog. It’s not an angle that is obtained on a regular basis, so I’m grateful for it! Cher xo
It’s rather a change, but I think it’s a pretty good-looking theme. I don’t think it’ll be hard to get used to.
Why thank you, Joseph! I was trying to capture a “type-writer”, simplistic, urban theme all rolled into one! *grin* Cher xo
Or should I say, “typewriter”!
Ooh! Looks gorgeous, Cher!x
You have literally just made my day, dear Laura! Thank you so much! I have been hoping it looks okay!!! Cher xo
