I’ve always been a giddy child on Christmas Eve. Sitting there, staring at all the gifts, waiting ’til my mom said it’s ok to open just one (although, most of us can vouch for taking a peek at more than one). Well, the time has come to unveil a gift for you all - my blog’s redesign! As that kid waiting by the Christmas tree, I’m super ecstatic and proud to be opening this gift – albeit slightly premature as there are still small tidbits that need to be fixed yet.
You’ll notice a new custom layout that gives you a featured post section on the homepage for any new or popular posts, which I’m able to keep up top as long as I want now. Also, there are new About and Career pages that highlight personal and professional points about me, my skills within digital marketing and a few random pictures (ok one of me and my iphone – seems obsessive but oh well lol).
Throughout the theme, you’ll be able to tell I’ve added a lot of design focused aspects. For those that know me, I’m a wannabe designer at heart and love great design and usability on websites. Luckily, my awesome and kickass designer Shannon Farrell was able to bring my ideas to life (she’s redoing her site as well but she’s a fantastic designer if you need work done). Not to mention, the guys over at WPCoder building the theme into what you see functioning today.
You may be asking yourself why I chose to do a redesign. Basically, it comes down to me wanting my site, which I’ve started putting a lot of time and heart into, to have its own unique design that I can call my own. I’m definitely happy with the result and hope you all enjoy it!

Love the new blog design and layout Sonny, clean and crisp and a neat functional footer
Thanks for the kind comments Richard!
Hi Sonny,
We’ve only just met so it’s difficult for me to compare the previous design. Nevertheless I’ll say this, this one is bangin’ with personality! So I’d say if that’s what you were going for, mission accomplished.
One of the first things I go for when looking over a new site are the “About” page and I love how it opens up with a different header.
Anyway, just my feedback on it.
@Ricardo – I appreciate your feedback Ricardo, nice to see new faces here! Glad you like the design. Hope to see you around more!
Sonny! Your new blog/site is awesome! Seriously, the design is stellar and very clean. I love all the SM touches…haven’t seen them elsewhere. Congratulations on being uniquely Sonny!
Beth – thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it and yes, definitely had to make sure there were plenty of SM pockets in there!
This is awesome, Sonny.. clean, open, and wonderfully simplified. LUV LUV LUV it!! (Congrats!)
