Deborah wanted E. Webscapes to create a new design for her personal blog site, The Writer Bee that would really express who she is and what her favorite things are – writing and the outdoors! Deborah also wanted to make the big leap from WordPress.com to the self-hosted WordPress.org . . . a fantastic way to go.
Not only is Deborah as busy as a bee, but she’s constantly a Twitter! One of the key elements that Deborah wanted Joni to incorporate into her new design was a cute way for her Twitter updates to interact with her new header design. Joni also worked extra hard to make all the various elements in Deborah’s sidebar roll-up to keep things from getting too cluttered.
Deborah had asked for a colorful design that incorporated outdoor elements like animals (especially bees!), mountains, trees, etc. – and Joni came up with a really cute design for her site. Deborah was really pleased with the final design:
I think everything’s great – I can’t think of anything else I want done. It’s fabulous.
Now that she’s all moved in, Deborah has some great content about her latest travels – make sure you pour yourself a cup of coffee and have a little read!

I can’t help but smile everytime I see Deborah’s blog. It is just as vibrant as she is face to face.
