Tuesday’s Tracking: A New Look Here!

This Tuesday’s Tracking is a bit different today from what I have done in the past. I have reworked the theme here again, and think it is working better now. It still doesn’t look quite as good in Internet Explorer as it does in Firefox. I have a good solution: Download Firefox! I do think it is better, but at least now you can actually read this blog in IE!

I am still working on my blog roll some, but I have made some changes. I have followed Blessed lead, from over at A Blessed Crazy Life, and have instituted a “Daily Read” list. I will try to keep that updated with the 10 blogs that I read most often. I try to get to all of them daily, but you know how things go. We all get busy, and it makes it hard to get everything done that we need to (or want to).

So, to kick off the new blog look, and to show some appreciation for the great blogs that I read regularly, here is my First Daily Read List (in alphabetical order):

• A Blessed Crazy Life–by Blessed
• Bright Idea Outdoors–by Matt
• Hunt Smart Think Safety–by Kristine
• The Idaho Trout Hunter–by Eagle Eyes
• Lowcountry Hunting–by Jeff
• Marian’s Hunting Stories, etc., etc., etc.–by Marian
• Outdoors with Othmar Vohringer–by Othmar
• Simply Outdoors–by Arthur
• The Hog Blog–by Phillip
• The Hunter’s Wife–by Jody

So, that is the list as it stands today. There are many other blogs that I read when I get the opportunity. I try to read these most days. A lot of times I try to comment, but that has been few and far between as of late. I’m going to try and be a bit more diligent about it.

For those on the list, if I haven’t covered your blog in my “Tuesday’s Tracking” feature, I probably will be before too much longer! To those who haven’t made this list, perhaps you will move up there before long. It will be difficult to figure out how to shuffle these great blogs around. I may have to expand my “Daily Reads” to more than 10!

As for the new design, be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  I think this is a bit more functional than my last design, and I really like the the 3 Column look.  I think I have made some changes that will speed up the loading of the page as well.  My biggest problem now is too many pictures!  But, I hate to leave those off, especially if they are of my kids enjoying the outdoors!
