If you’re a regular visitor you’ve probably already noticed that I’ve shaken the look of the place up a bit again. There shouldn’t be any surprise in that, since I’d already said I was compelled to do so in an earlier post.
As usual, I waxed impatient and just had to get this template up today, so expect to see some shifting around of topics, menus and a bit of functionality here and there over the next few days. (I’ve never been great at waiting.)
I really think that this particular theme suits my style a bit better. It’s more original, more “My Own” than the last, and I think that it shows the photography in a better light as well. For that reason alone it’s a better choice.
Don’t worry, Cooking by the seat of my Pants will be back to posting regular food related entries just as soon as I can get ‘em typed up. My obsession with “Look and Feel” won’t prevent that, and I’ve got several items just waiting to grace these pages with their yumminess.
I hope you all enjoy the new look. Don’t worry, I’ll be sticking with it for at least a year.
Hi! Thanks for visiting cooking by the seat of our pants!
We're sharing hundreds of our favorite recipes, kitchen tips and favorite tools, all tested by me, Jerry Russell, and my family and friends 
My name is Jerry Russell, and I'm a blogger. Since 2007 I've been writing about food and recipes at

I like the look…is that your seat of the pants?
Sandi,
The photo above is not the “official” seat of my pants. It is, however a very reasonable facsimile. (My wife assures me that the seat of my pants is better looking, but I’m no judge of such things.) It is a very close approximation, at any rate. To my knowledge there are no surviving photos that include the seat of my pants, and I aim to keep it that way!
Nice jeans, and nice blog layout. I wish I were creative (or courageous) enough to undertake an overhaul!
Yep, I really like this look the best – way to go! Looking forward to your next post =)
Lydia,
I think your blog looks pretty good myself! I’d offer to assist if you really wanted me to, but I don’t know much about typepad.
Lisa,
It was a pleasant surprise for me when I noticed that the photos were just “popping” off the page. And as a food blogger, anything that makes the photos look good is something I’m all for!
I won’t make you wait long for new posts, either. I’ll be tossing at least three up today :)
Love the new template, I was eyeing this template when I was viewing all the new ones at Wordpress, this one just caught my eye and I really enjoy seeing it used for your foodie blog!
Laurie,
It’ll keep looking better as things go on. I’ve been a “Professional” designer for years, so I fear I’ll just keep tinkering with it until it’s perfect… Then I’ll want to change it again, LOL
