AFM Gets a Face Lift
By JLP | April 13, 2008
Welcome to the new look of AllFinancialMatters!
After reading the comments left on the Poor Charlie’s Almanack Giveaway post, I decided it was time for a change. This is a work-in-progress and is far from the finished product. You can expect some more changes over the next few days or so as I try to get this template to look the way I want it to look.
I’m not saying I’ll use them, but I do welcome your helpful thoughts and comments.

JLP: Definitely a step in the right direction. Very clean and readable. Nice work.

It’s off to a flying start! Nice and easy on the eyes JLP.

Oh thank you so much, JLP! The new layout is so easy on the eyes… I’ll be clicking through the feed links much more often now.

Thanks for all the kind words.
I was going to change things up a while back but didn’t because I was under the impression that readers liked the blog the way it was.
Anyway, it was time for a change.

This is a great improvement — looks good!

I liked it just the way it was. Found the yellow to be much easier on the eyes. Also, made it more distinctive. But, I can see that I’m out-voted on this (not that anyone’s be asked to “vote”).
I’ll still keep reading of course.

Much much better. I like it a lot.

Although I’m not a fan of templates, I think it looks a lot better

I like the color scheme!

Clean and simple, more readable. What’s not to like?
April 14th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Very nicely done!

The white background/black text works better for me for reading. I think it makes the whole site looks cleaner and more professional. Good changes!

Wow, this update makes it look great. I didn’t think it would matter that much, and content was what mattered, but I ran across your blog again and I almost immediately bookmarked it for daily reading.
