Visual refresh and new forum topics at YLF

April 21st, 2008

The site was looking a little cluttered after the addition of the store area on the right, so we fast-tracked a visual refresh that was already underway. Hopefully you’ll find that things flow a little better with the updated design.

We also used the opportunity to make a few changes to the forum. Most importantly, we added two new areas:

  1. Your Body Type: This is a place to talk about your body type. How do you fit into the various classifications? Are there general rules you can follow when selecting items and putting together ensembles? Every body is unique, but there are also definitely shared attributes and lots of opportunities to share advice and experiences.
  2. What You Wore Today: People were so excited by this topic that we thought we’d give it a home of its own. So if you don’t have your own site for posting your daily outfit (like Kasmira’s excellent blog), then you can do so here. Even if you do have your own site, feel free to post links on our forum. Please post each new outfit (or group of outfits) separately, and try to use a descriptive title.

We retired the poor old “Fashion Industry” area because it wasn’t getting much traffic, but all of its posts are still available under “Everything Else”. If you have any feedback, or problems that you would like to report, go ahead and use our brand new contact form.

The YLF forum is, as we say, going like a Boeing. A big thank you to existing forum members and a warm welcome to newbies. Your articulate, informative and passionate conversations increase the style quotient of this site.

    Looks great Angie. Your husband does such a great job with the design. I would never guess that this was his first go-round.

    I am very impressed with your hubby’s skills Angie. He should do some of my web design homework for me! Site looks great.

    How about what I wore over the weekend? True to my frugal self, I put together an outfit of light denim jean trousers, a slate blue t-shirt, and a blue and white checked raw silk jacket - with a silk magenta polka dot scarf - and a mohair blue & white plaid shawl…worn with my genuine vintage Marc Jacob knock-off bag in greenish blue. Because everything was vintage or a bargain, as is my wont - the whole thing cost - about $25???

    Could I make one suggestion? I don’t know if this is possible, but it would be neat to have the forum posts appear in different colors when they are new versus older ones. That way, when I go on or someone else goes on, we can see what posts have been updated since our last visit and which ones are older. I know this would be different for every user, so perhaps it is too difficult.
