Meandering Blog Gets An "Extreme Makeover"

The Meandering in Marin on Tuesdays blog was showing its age and has need an updated look and a more user-friendly interface.  Luckily, Blogger (which hosts the blog) recently came out with new templates and features to make an "extreme makeover" possible.

You'll find a photo of the "Wandering Nomads" atop Hill 88 above Rodeo Lagoon at the top of the blog.  A new page navigation bar just below the photo will give you quick access to information such as upcoming hikes and links to various resources on the Web which had been located in the sidebar on the right side of the blog.

You'll find links to our on-line photo albums and the Meandering in Marin CafePress.com store on that navigation bar, too.  And a special place on the blog is now devoted to the memory of Silvia Lange.

The latest hike photos "slideshow" window has been enlarged.  Fewer "posts" will appear on the main page of the blog.  And the color scheme is totally different from before. 

All of the information that used to appear on the blog is still there, but easier to find, and the new format should make the blog easier to read.  Look for new features down the road (or make that down the trail).

The only thing that won't change:  You'll continue to receive updates via e-mail when the hike previews and recaps and other information is added to the blog.
