Brenda Cuby, the Owner of The Green Familia, wanted a new vibrant look for her blog. She worked closely with Sharon at Es-preso to get just the right look. Then it was time for me to step in and start doing some tweaking for functionality and features.

Tabbed widgets in the sidebar highlight lots of content in a compact area. The top tabbed area pulls a teaser of the latest featured post, as well as the most recent and the most read posts. Another tabbed area allows for links to favorite resources.

One important part of this redesign was the organizing the navigation. Rearranging and recategorizing tightened up the navigation on the site and made things easier to find. Navigation is a critically important part of every site and taking time to work through the categories was time well spent.
