Post edited 7:24 pm – September 23, 2011 by Sustainable PF
Hi folks,
So I finally removed a longstanding site upgrade item from my to-do list.
I got rid of the subscribe widget (saves load time!) and the same old same old images for subscriptions with a more unique image that I hope fits our site theme. It's all HTML now and I managed to get it coded and working!
Anyhow, if anyone has the time to check out the top area of our right sidebar i'd love some feedback on the new "Follow Us" section (including the wording in 'follow us' !!).
URL is in my post footer for the home page and here: http://sustainablepersonalfinance.com
Feel free to +1 our site while you're there, please ;) (which means I better get that code happening NOW!)
BIG thanks to Suba who stumbled across the Icons right before I did as people in the SKYPE CHAT were discussing how disjunct our subscription box looked. Suba also did us a BIG favour by getting the images out of the image software and into manageable single files so I could work from there. Thank you Suba! Mrs. SPF really likes the new subscription buttons – she says thanks too!

I absolutely LOVE them! Great work. I am completely jealous.
I +1 while I was there. I really do think that they fit with your theme. Great move, if you ask me.

+1 is up now, but I need to figure out how to nestle it horizontally w/ the search.
So glad i'm finally getting to some of these homemade design updates. Glad you liked the new subscribe theme!

I LOVE those icons!! I think they fit your site (and match your header) so well. It makes me want to find custom icons for Fat Guy!

SPF,
Really like the look of the new icons, they tie in well with your site's theme.
I did notice when I clicked on the twitter and facebook icons that I was redirected to reditt and got a 404 error
so you might want to check your links.

I think they match your site perfectly and look really good. Thanks Suba for helping SPF get rolling. I am wondering if I need the same critique!?

Actually, Free From Broke and Tom @ Canadian Finance did the critique. Suba fixed the files when they needed to be broken out from the specific format. Thanks again Suba. We're loving the new icons :)

I love the icons, but I'm disturbed by the fact that there are 3 yellow ones in a row. Why yes, I am a little OCD!
