A new look for d travels 'round.

Welcome to the all new d travels ’round! 

I know it looks different, and there’s some getting used to that will happen, but I am so excited to share what I (and by I, I really mean the talented Jesse McFarlane) have been working on since October.

Why the change?

Quite simply, I wanted to expand the scope of my blog and make it a bit more comprehensive. The Adventures of D isn’t going away, it just now has it’s very own section, letting me open the site up to more features, tips, reviews, guest posts and photo essays. This little blog has come along way since October 2009 when I was sneaking posts and plotting my exit from my job and America! I am so proud of what it has become and look forward to where it will go!

It's time for something new.

I am always open to suggestions, so if there is anything you’d like to see on here — maybe details on  a particular location, juicy details on cool spots in Las Vegas (or wherever I am/have been), or anything else — I welcome your feedback.

I hope 2012 is filled with laughter, good health and, of course, safe travels.

And, please pardon the interruption … while we work through the new site, things may get a little messy. icon smile Ch ch ch changes

    Although I wasn’t that well acquainted with the old style site I have to say I really like what I’m seeing now. The content is really nicely organised (even for a cretin like me) and the banner rocks too. Good work!

    • Diana January 10, 2012 at 9:14 pm · Reply

      Thank you so much!! I really love it. I liked the old, but it was definitely time for the site to grow as I grow. :)

    Very pretty! I love the new header. It does seem like a great way to give yourself the ability to write a larger variety of content. Yay for 2012!

    • Diana January 11, 2012 at 9:18 pm · Reply

      Thank you! Erica from Over Yonderlust designed it for me. I hope I can expand a bit this year and really start to cover more things than just my adventures. Especially since right now my only adventure is Las Vegas.
