MyShingle FINALLY Gets A Facelift
Well readers, the day is finally here: The facelift for MyShingle.com is finally complete. Readers can finally access our OnLine Guide and pre-November 2004 archives (menu, upper left column), enjoy reading stories without endlessly scrolling through long narrow columns and navigate a page that’s fresh looking and properly aligned. Todd Chatman (a law student who blogs at Ambivalent Imbroglio) handled the redesign in accordance with my requests and I recommend him highly to anyone who’s in need of similar services.
I know that this Shingle isn’t the same as my original and beloved slashcode based site
that I worked so hard to design before I went live in December 2002. I
loved the uniqueness of the slash site and the robustness of the
software and had hoped to return my blog to that format. Alas, I
finally had to admit that I simply did not have the time – and could
not find the tech support – to address problems that would arise in the
slash site. So against my initial misgivings, I’ve come around to the
more user friendly and compatible Typepad.
In moving forward, I think I’ve developed a site that will support more
readers and operate more dependably in the long run. But I’ve lost
some of the freshness and uniqueness that I had with slash when I
started out. And that’s the same transition that I’ve experienced in
going from new solo-hood to a more established practice; trading the
heady excitement of my earlier shoe-string days for more stability (not
to mention more income) but a little bit more staidness as well.
Anyway, welcome to the new site. I can still make changes or additions
that will make it more useful resource for inspiring solo and small law
firms.
Hi Carolyn,
I’m getting an odd double banner effect when viewing in IE6. Firefox is fine. Looks lovely.

Carolyn, it looks terrific. I’ve been reading your posts only on Bloglines for the past few months because the old site was distracting. It’ll be nice to have access to archives and comments…. I think it’ll make the Shingle a much more accessible resource. Congrats, and thank you.

Carolyn–Great layout. I don’t know how it appears on other browsers, but on Firefox, it’s clear and clean and very easy to read.

My Shingle Redesign
I mentioned last week that I wanted to redesign the imbroglio; obviously, that didn’t happen. Instead, I spent my web time last week redesigning My Shingle.
