New Greens & Berries Template

I think I've finally completed the transition to Squarespace's Version 5.0, which I love, and customized a new template.  I tried to keep the look simple and very much like the previous version. The biggest change you will notice is  the navigation bar (menu of pages) is now at the top. I've also changed the background and font colours. Everything else is the same as before. (Well, I did lose some of my Practice Resources but I'm slowly rebuilding that page.)

Now I need to catch up on content. If only writing were as much fun as playing with colours.....

Tidying up the virtual toolbox and desk drawer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I often think of this blog's Resources page as my basic toolbox. I've spent the past couple of hours cleaning it, fixing broken parts, rearranging the contents in separate compartments, and adding a few, new, handy-dandy items, like food composition tables and links to specific Dietitians of Canada pages.

If the Resources page is a toolbox that I rummage through several times daily, then the Links page is a desk drawer where I store my address book and business cards.  I may not not open it  more than a few times a week, but it contains valuable contact information that I want close at hand.   So this afternoon I also decluttered the Links page to limit it to web sites' home pages.

I hope these analogies will help you understand how I've organized these two pages so you can easily and quickly find what you're looking for. There may be a bit of overlap but if something is really valuable, it can't hurt to put it in both places.

All done as part of pre-Spring, pre-Nutrition Month cleaning.  And because I'm more than a bit obsessive-compulsive about organization.
