Changes at From the Mixed-Up Files

You may have noticed that our site has been a little more mixed-up than usual.  We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused everyone, but we are happy to announce that we have isolated the problem and found a solution.

Part of the issue required updating the look of our site as well, so today we’d like to unveil our new design. Welcome to the all new From the Mixed-Up Files!

The look may be different from what you’re used to, but you’ll notice that our basic design remains the same.  So you’ll still find our OhMG News on the left sidebar; our menus, categories, archives, and much much more on the right sidebar; tabs to our static web pages across the top; and our almost daily blog posts are still prominently in the center of our site.

There is one addition to our new design, and that is that we have moved some items from our right sidebar to the bottom of our page instead. So look there if you can’t find something you used to see on the right.

We hope you’ll enjoy the new look but the same great content.  And thanks for supporting our site as one of our dedicated readers!
