Weekend Scoop: New Design Edition

by Kay Lynn

After nearly two years of my self-designed mad men look, it was time for an update at Bucksome Boomer. I even hired a professional who put up with my vague instructions and slow follow-up.  Thanks, Sharon!  Check out the new design and let me know what you think.

Around the Web

This week’s article at Couple Money was about how to select a guardian for your kids if needed.  Not fun, but an important decision.

On a brighter note, please join the Yakezie Network for weekly chat on all things personal finance.  The time is 6 pm PT/9 pm ET on Wednesdays.  Use hashtag #YakChat.

I like it. The site has a throw back feeling without any tackiness. It is very clean and organized.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I was ready for a change, but it is still a surprise every time I go to my site and see it! Tony, I’ll send you an email to answer your question.

I love the new header Kay! Very professional looking…

I did a “double take” when your site loaded…I thought I typed in your url wrong! The site looks great.

Kay Lynn August 25, 2011 at 9:29 pm

Thanks! I’m starting to get used to it now after a week.
