Blog Changes - Your Help Needed

You may have noticed a few changes on the blog recently. Here's what's going on: Updates

I updated the category titles and am working behind the scenes to make sure posts are correctly categorized.

I took down the Foodbuzz ad block when my contract expired at the end of September. I want to earn something to pay for all the work I put into this blog but I'm not sure whether ads are the right way to go about it.

The About page was recently tweaked and I'm working on a new Media Kit.

Logo and Redesign

Allie Lehman and I are almost through revising the logo she designed and it's awesome. I can't wait to share!

I am looking at new themes to make Hounds in the Kitchen more professional and pretty. I'm a little scared of editing a new theme to suit my needs all by myself but I don't have a budget to pay. If anyone out there loves CSS or wordpress or themes and wants to offer a trade for cooking class instruction, basic writing and editing or something else I'm good at, let's talk.

Input Welcome

Can you help guide Hounds in the Kitchen? I designed a simple survey that will take about five minutes of your time. Questions range from your cooking habits to what you like about the blog to events you might attend. Fill out the survey at the bottom of this post or follow the survey link.

Thank you, as always, for reading and following my crazy life.

Survey Says...

One thing I learned at my recent trip to the Blissdom blogging conference is that this blog might serve readers better if I ask readers what they want.  Doh!

So I put together a little survey.  The site I use only allows for ten questions for free, so I crammed in lots of comment boxes but it is still short.  No questions or comments are required so you can skip anything you don't feel like answering.  Answers are completely anonymous.  Even if you do leave comments, I estimate the survey will take less than ten minutes.

I would very much appreciate your input to guide this blog and Hound events.  I hope to analyze responses on March 22.  Please send your answers in soon.  Thanks!
