Welcome to the all new 2012 oh, hello friend design! I am so fortunate to know Ana from Blog Milk, who helped me do all the coding and make my design even possible. It is a lot of fun to design blog layouts, and I realized I've pretty much had a new design every year. Shall we take a look at all the previous oh, hello friend looks?
2008: has anyone been reading the blog for this long?
This seems like such a long time ago. My first blogging days, good times!
Loved this mint green back in the day, before I loved mustard yellow ;)
2009: Saw a complete redesign.. This is when I started "the daily"
which were daily columns and features for the blog.
2010: kept a lot of similar features, changed the logo fonts.
2011: Thought I'd get rid of the "oh" in oh, hello friend but decided I can't take away from the brand and the "oh" is back! ;)
and now we're in 2012 with a new 2-column design. I really hope you like it! I tried to simplify things (it's hard for me to simplify sometimes) but get rid of the blog clutter. There are some new links at the top of features I think is this blog's speciality: packaging/notes/vintage. One thing I did keep and have had since the original design is the "my heart" list. and you may notice a couple new "daily" buttons - I'm going to start doing weekly diy's and resources. Hope you like all the new changes!
Thought I'd also offer a little giveaway to go along with the new blog design launch. Win $50 from each of my 3 shops: the wanderlust, reverie market, and oh, hello friend for a total of $150 worth of credit! Simply leave a comment to enter with the year you started reading the blog (if you remember) For an additional entry: Tweet or post about the giveaway on facebook! (Up to 2 extra entries if you do both!) A winner will be chosen at random on Monday, January 23rd. Good luck :)
I started reading in 2011!

Lovely new design! :) I started reading in 2010, I think.. Oh dear, time flies. I'm not even sure, haha.
ReplyDeletei started reading in 2009. i've loved the journey so far! (:
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very nice redesign :-)
ReplyDeleteI must have been around since '09 then as I recognise that header..... yours is still one of my favourites. My favourite bit of the new design is the 'you are loved' text under the flower. Gorgeous font and I always liked that you chose that as your tag line.
ReplyDeleteproud reader, since 2009 :) x
ReplyDeleteI think I discovered your blog about 1,5 years ago, so in 2010. Great job on the new design!
ReplyDeleteI started reading in 2011(:
ReplyDeleteI started reading in 2009! I love every blog design and it seems like each design can't get better, but it does. This one looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh Danni I have been reading your blog pretty much since the beginning so that would be 2008. I just adore your new blog layout! :)

Wow, what a beautiful layout! And of course I join this give away, I love your shops!
ReplyDeleteI have been a reader of your blog since last summer. I wish I had discovered it earlier!
I think I stumbled onto it in 2009! I say that because I definitely remember all the layout designs apart from 2008. I love the new layout. You have such talent! :)

ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I've been reading since 2010 (I think!)
ReplyDeleteLove the new look! I think I started reading in 09, after we first me at Urbanic's blogger social! Plus I don't remember the first header :) Looks fantastic and less cluttered, I'm sure its hard to let go of some items!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a fairly recent reader of this blog so I've only seen your previous layout and now this one.
ReplyDeleteI really like how there's more columns now! It fills up my screen without wasting space. I also like the font you used on the header :) I checked it on my iPhone and although I can't see the layout, I appreciate that your posts are readable on mobile devices. Kudos to Ana for the coding!
And I posted this to my blog's fb page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Our-Designed-Life/196348475972 Love the look again, if I could, I would totally revamp my little space online.
ReplyDeleteI probably started reading around 2010/2011. I come here periodically for inspiration ~ which I always find!
