Mini Manor Blog

    CHANGES!!

    You may have noticed the new "look" around here. We've had the same header and sidebar elements for over a year and it was time for a change. Kind of like a mini blog renovation. A little paint on the walls, a  little tile in the kitchen that sort of thing. :)

    A name change has been in the works for a while now. Since we no longer live in Maillardville it had been bothering me that we were still the Maillardville Manor. Also, it's not the easiest name to remember (it took me three months to spell it correctly :).
    So Our New Name is . . . .
    MINI MANOR
    www.minimanorblog.com

    Why Mini Manor:
    The definition of MANOR is -
                                          a. A landed estate.
                                          b. The main house on an estate; a mansion.
    So a Mini Manor is exactly what we have. If you've seen our yard the term "landed estate" would make you laugh, we have land, but it's a VERY small plot.
    And Yes we have a house, but it's no mansion.
    Hence . . . Mini Manor!
     
    If you're worried about your subscription, we are still keeping the old address so that all of your subscriptions and settings will stay the same. 
     
    As for headers I made 3 . . . I thought I would just pick the best of the 3 but I liked them all, so we're going to keep all three and have them change out!
    Header #1:
    Header #2:
     
     
    Header #3:
     
     
    We've also added some new sidebar content, we're displaying 5 of our all time most popular posts. And a new About us section:
     
     
    I hope you're enjoying all the changes around Mini Manor (hehe). There's still a few more changes happening this week. We have a new About Us page, a new background and Navigation bar to install.
    Hopefully we'll have that all up and active next week.
     
    In Short:
    We're now Mini Manor Blog, but we're keeping Maillardville Manor so that all of your subscriptions stay the same!
     
    I can't wait to get back to the posting part of the "job" We've been working on these changes for a few months now, and I've had post idea's building up in my head!!
    Hope you enjoy the changes :)

      I did notice the name change and thought where did my Maillardville go! Ok so I had to check 3 times that I'd spelt that right!. Loving the new look, especially the header with you Lee and Max that is adorable :)

      Love the new new name and headers. I think I like the other two, and especially the one with Max, a smidge more than this one... just a personal preference and if you're taking votes. :-)

      I love that photo of the legs! Not that I have a leg fetish; that would be weird. I just like how it evokes that ideal image of housewife.

      I really like the new look (I liked the old version too). =) The header with all 3 of you is so adorable! We recently made some design changes over at our blog as well. It's fun to switch things up every once and a while, isn't it? =)

      It does look great here! I'll miss your old name though - I grew up by Dawes Hill and whenever I saw your blog name it reminded me of living there. It makes sense though as you don't live there either!
