Tasha Could Make That

Tasha Could Make That

Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

By Gum, By Golly relaunch: now with Moxie!

August 29, 2013 by Tasha 49 Comments

I’m so excited to officially announce the new By Gum, By Golly redesign today!

Thanks to Joelle of Moxie Design Studios, this blog now has an amazing new look and great functionality. I seriously couldn’t be more pleased. Tickled, flabbergasted… doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Some astute readers noticed the new site technically went live yesterday, but we’ve been working behind the scenes to get things ready. I still have a lot of housekeeping to do (rebuilding my blogroll, re-organizing lots of posts, etc), so please excuse me if you notice any hiccups along the way. I’m still getting my feet wet with WordPress (bye bye, Blogger) and the new site.

The most noticeable difference to you (other than the fab design!) is that the URL of my site has changed. I’m no longer using blog.bygumbygolly.com, I’m now using bygumbygolly.com. But don’t worryβ€”all of my old posts redirect to the new links! So it should hopefully be a pretty seamless transition for my readers.

You’ll notice lots of fun new things on this site, like…

  • a navigation menu that includes some of the topics I yammer on about the most such as knitting, sewing, tutorials (all three of those have sub-categories in the menu!), and my vintage wardrobe, which covers outfit posts and items I sew and knit for my wardrobe
  • lots o’ social media icons so you can follow me anywhere you’d like
  • Pinterest and Instagram on the sidebar
  • a rotating Tutorials & How-To section on the sidebar
  • a holy-mama-so-easy way to actually find my content including categories and a tag cloud in the sidebar, as well a great site search

And here’s the photo used on my brand new About page. If you ever wondered what started my obsession with vintage, check it out. πŸ™‚

Thank you SO much to Joelle and Moxie Design Studios for whipping this blog into shape and putting a serious spring in my step. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful!!


Wouldn’t you agree By Gum, By Golly has serious moxie now??

    Oh, I just love it! I’m so glad you have a tag cloud now — there’s been several times I’ve looked for one to search for a certain tag here on your blog and I’m so happy to see it now. It makes things so easy for your readers! (:

    Wow I absolutely love the new look Tasha, honestly it’s perfect. Might have to start saving up to get my blog tarted up now! I also a hardback detective fiction collection – Agatha Christie rather than Nancy Drew in my case but I love the vintage look of those old books! x

    (how great: I love that the polka-dot-background moves when I scoll down, whereas the lace-pattern stays in place, such a great detail)

    It’s so fun that your vintage obsession started with the Nancy Drew books! Those books were (and still are!) a huge inspiration for me, and the cover art on the Norwegian (translated) books are so beautiful!

    And by the way, your new blog design is so sweet!

    P.S. Just in case you check out my blog, I haven’t posted anything yet. But I hope I get the time to do it soon! πŸ™‚

    You are so right!! I just realized it seeing your Nancy Drew book. The things my mother read to me were often rooted in the past. Ann or Green Gables, Little House, Nancy Drew, Annette, and everything from Grace Livingston Hill. Most of my books were originals, musty and sometimes falling apart. I loved going to thrift stores, but a vintage parasol when I was 15 and visiting Arkansas must have been my first vintage find that stands out. This was of course before I knew what vintage was! Now I love everything old. I even try to stock my etsy store with vintage finds! Although determining fiber content is always a challenge and that’s why I loved your last post so much.

    Is the jaguar in the background of your “About Me” photo vintage? Or is it Haeger pottery?

    Ooooh, re-haul, it’s looking good (although I’ve only been following your blog a few days now). I am also desperately wanting to overhaul my blog, I’ve had it since December 2012 and think it’s time for some updating. Think I will look into the company who helped you. Do you recommend them?
