Thirteen years and one month ago, I launched Music Matters Blog after having meticulously planned out the first 30 days of posts in my idea notebook. I was a little nervous about Day 31. Would I run out of things to say? 1,650 subsequent posts would suggest that I had nothing to worry about. 🙂 For those of you who haven’t been around since the beginning, here’s the only screenshot I seem to have salvaged from the first blog design:
It’s rather atrocious to look at now, but I was sure proud of it back then! I had gotten my feet wet doing some web design for my studio website (which has also undergone a major overhaul since its first design!), and was excited to employ some of those skills to launch into the relatively new world of blogging. Since it appeared that I would be sticking around the blogosphere indefinitely, in January of 2012, I was thrilled to welcome the New Year with a completely updated look and organizational structure to the blog thanks to the professional design work of my good friend, Tiffany. She incorporated my then-established studio colors and created an inviting and playful virtual ambiance with the music symbols dancing across the screen:
Well, six years must be the number for revamping because after tossing around the idea for about a year, I finally decided to call on Tiffany again and see if she could help me with the new blog look and structure that I was envisioning. She has been working hard behind the scenes for weeks now, and we are aiming for a November 1 launch date of the new Music Matters Blog! Hopefully everything will continue to progress smoothly, but I wanted to give you all a heads up just in case there are any technical glitches here in the final few weeks. Stay tuned for new announcements and special deals to celebrate the exciting changes!
