Are you ready for SHARNANIGANS?

In two days I am launching a brand spanking new website...

SHARNANIGANS!

I have been working on this with my designer (love saying that, daaarlings) on and off for quite a while now.

We will unleash it on the world in just 2 days... I am excited and nervous all rolled into one.

The Chronicles will remain (at this stage) but Sharnanigans will be the more polished, user friendly version.

The Chronicles will be kept for Odes to PMS and the like hahaha

I have been on such an amazing journey since I started blogging in August it has inspired me to crank it up a notch.

 I have met wonderful people and little did I know when I wrote my first pathetic blog post that writing online would take me to such terrific highs! (and help me come to terms with the sometimes crippling lows)

The website will have a bit of everything that is me, but written with you in mind.

I am really proud of it and am so grateful to my wonderful website designer and friend Olena who has been so accessible to me and so intuitive in converting my ideas into a design that I feel truly reflects me.

It is not just any old designer that could do such a thing. She is a real talent.

I hope you will follow me to my new home on Friday.

(And for those who need bribes, I am having a month of giveaways to celebrate

You can join up page here to be kept in the loop)

Thank-you to everybody who took the time to give me some feedback for that aswell. Appreciated! 

The second batch of Wil Anderson DVD winners will be drawn tomorrow so stay tuned! 

Thanks for all the entries!

The Wil Anderson interview made my ratings higher than Channel 7's for one evening. 

Who needs Home and Away when you have The Chronicles of Sharnia I ask you? 

I have become unfrozen and am busy working on the most talked about (by me at least) website since.... Perez Hilton....

Sharnanigans.com

So if I'm quiet, that is why. If I'm not, then I just am not. I have learnt not to make bold statements about disappearing from here because generally I am back within half an hour hahaha

Designing a website : your thoughts required

hi - need your feedback please.

I am in the process of having a website designed. I am very excited about it.

There is a lot to consider though on top of colours and fonts - like functionality and gidgets and gadgets and all of those other words that confuse me

What is your favourite blog / site - in terms of design and functionality?

The prettiest with most useful navigation tools etc?

What appeals to you in website design?

What do you find attractive in a site?

What elements are important?

What elements are annoying?
I'd really appreciate any feedback and would love links to great designs.

Thanks in anticipation

On a more personal note is there any advice / suggestions you could give me on what you would like to see from my blog? More pics from the outback etc , competitions, networking?

Really appreciate any feedback.
