Sometimes a blog needs a complete makeover. Today I only planned to change the theme, the header, and make other superficial tweaks here. When I saw the completed effect, I realized that this blog had sooo many pages that the whole look was top heavy.
I had pages of books from 2014 on (books purchased, read, reviewed), so I started chopping things up. Yes, ruthlessly.
Now I am somewhat pleased. I hope I didn’t delete anything important…but I do know that many reviews, etc., from the old years are on Goodreads.
Check out the pages above my header…and tell me what you think. Would you take steps so drastic? Have you ever done so?
Here’s a quick peek at my new look here.

CURL UP AND READ 
Always fun to change up the look of a blog, amazing how the hours go by while you do it. I spent some time making the parts to a patchwork bag, always fun to try something new.

Thanks, Kathryn, and when I started the “revamp,” I had no idea it would consume so much time. But I feel lighter now! LOL
I’ll bet your patchwork bag is gorgeous!

It can certainly be a time consuming exercise though I’ve never done anything as extensive as you have. Just one suggestion – I think you could reduce the number of items in the menu – maybe just have an item called bookshelves and put the different years underneath in drop down menu

Thanks, Karen, that does sound like a good way to cut down on the menu items.

I don’t remove reviews. I do however take out giveaways and remove out of date, no longer relevant content. Like Sunday Posts over a year old, cover reveals, spotlights etc. I 301 redirect links to my blog and then hit delete.

Thanks, Kimberly, the reviews were not deleted , just the connection to them on this blog. All the reviews are on Goodreads and my other blogs.
