Done... well, almost!
With huge thanks to Sashwhy's Studio, our new design is up and running--finally!
I have a few more tweaks to make and I'm sure it will continue to evolve, but I'm so excited for a more professional look that will hopefully also be easy to navigate. Thanks for the many of you who have already given feedback.
I've moved most of the handy-dandy links which used to be on the sidebar to the Links page. I've also added lots of great new goodies there worth checking out.
There's a brand-new Frequently Asked Questions page, too. I'm positive there are about hundred other questions I should add to the list so email me if you have a suggestion for something else that should be there.
If you ever wondered who Money Saving Mom is, go here for more information than you probably cared to read! You'll especially want to check out the adorable pictures of my girls.
If you need any blog design or blog graphics done, I highly recommend Sashwhy's Studio. They have been incredible to work with, their prices are about as affordable as it gets, and they worked with me from start to finish to make sure that the final look was exactly what I wanted. Thanks so much, Sashwhy's Studio!






Hey there! I have tested your site in Opera and it works great. However, I just got your newest update about your site: "New design is up, feedback requested" and the feedburner link is either not working or the update is missing from your site.

I'll second Crystal's recommendation. I love my redesigned site compliments of Sashwhy's Studio. And I'm excited to be unveiling an updated look very soon!

I LOVE the redesigned site, but I definitely do not like the google ads in between the posts. It looks less professional and makes it harder to read down the articles, because of the change in font and style back and forth between the ads and the articles.

Wow! Shnazzy new look. I like it! Keep up the good work! :)

Google ads are moving back to the sidebar; I was just testing things out and it wasn't successful. To back to their positions they go.

Looks great. I have not gotten an update in Google reader since the update that you changed the site. I am going to try resubscribing.

I get the feed through Google Reader, and I don't often click on the articles to go to the regular page (but if I need to comment, or want to read other's comments I do...), but with the redesign, every article is coming up 404 Not Found. Google Reader is displaying it, but then the link to it on your site directly isn't working from it.

It looks great! I hope you include navigational links at the bottom of the page ("previous page" etc..) It would help those of us who can only check in once or twice a week.

It looks fabulous!

It looks fabulous! I love the links across the top. And I'm having no problems with it feeding into reader or anything, as mentioned by others. Maybe that's something you have already fixed?

Love new design! And, the silver pig adds that perfect frugal touch! When you're frugal, you can afford some nicer things!! :-)

Looks great! I love the tabs at the top. Much easier to find things. I also liked seeing a picture of you and your family. My favorite website ever!!
