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
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 :)

ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Congrats on the change:)
ReplyDeleteLove 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. :-)
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteYou know what they say...a change is as good as a holiday! Loving the new blog title and look. My fav. header has to be the second one...so cute with your pup included.
ReplyDeleteI think the new name is perfect...and I agree with a few people here...header #2 is my favourite. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteAshli,
ReplyDeleteI think that header #2 is super! So stylish.
Things are looking great!
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteLooks good around here! My blog is overdue for a new look too. Now to find the time... :)
ReplyDeleteheader number 2 would be my choice
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI love header humber 2. It really includes your family.
