Blog Design AGAIN

I know, I’m addicted. When I get bored I change my blog design, but this time, this is going to be it for a lit­tle while. It’s funny, despite my con­stant need to rede­fine myself I always go back to the design that Mrs. Flinger did for me back in 2004. It’s is the most reflec­tive of who I am as a per­son and it res­onates the kind of energy that I want to share on my blog. So, I updated some things– the “Mom on the Rise” in the header and the CSS and code so that it func­tions bet­ter with Word­Press 9.1.

Don’t you just love it?!

Purge and plan

One of my biggest pet peeves is imma­tu­rity. Adults who can­not take crit­i­cism, chalk every neg­a­tive opin­ion up to some trival rea­son, and those who don’t under­stand pro­fes­sion­al­ism fall into this pet peeve cat­e­gory. I have spent much of 2009 giv­ing peo­ple the chance to shine despite being warned that they were bad­seeds. But no more! I’m done.

For the first time in years I’m draw­ing a line. I’m not play­ing nice any­more and I’m going with my gut. In both my pro­fes­sional life and per­sonal I’m draw­ing boundaries.

It won’t be pretty but it has to be done. Be prepared.

Moms of Hue Launch

button.jpgIn my last post I talked about suc­cess­fully com­plet­ing 30 post in 30 days (NaBloPoMo). And then I dropped the ball. But I have a rea­son. I have been dili­gently prepar­ing for the Moms of Hue Launch party. I redesigned the entire site using The­sis for Word­Press and learn­ing more PHP in 5 days than I ever thought possible.

So what is Moms of Hue?

It’s a multi-authored Blogzine designed to unite moms of color in one cen­tral location.

We are sin­gle, mar­ried, mul­tira­cial, stay at home, work from home, tra­di­tional work­ing moms, and entrepreneurs.

We are a group of women from all walks of life shar­ing our unique views on moth­er­hood from a per­spec­tive that is often under­rep­re­sented in the blog­ging world.

In short, we are moth­ers of color with a lot to say about issues rel­e­vant to us includ­ing pol­i­tics, images in the media, school­ing choices, par­ent­ing issues, and so much more.

Check out In the Spot­light for a closer look at the Voices of Moms of Hue. And be sure to join us today on Twit­ter (@momsofhue #mom­sofhue) as we give­away over 30 prizes as a way of say­ing “thank you” to our readers.
