Clara’s site at VinCache was completed today. She came to me with a request for a design for her new wine review blog. She was looking for a rustic, kind of ‘wine cellar meets the internet’ look and feel for her site that gave it a feel of a musty wine cellar . . .

Choosing to host her site at Blogs About Hosting - Clara did recieve a 10% discount on her design fees for the new design for Vin Cache, where she reviews different wines from around the world.

Like her tagline says “Your secret wine source..” - I think it won’t be a secret for long! Thank you, Clara!

   Nice fleur de lis element between posts. It’s nice to see classic elements seamlessly blended into a modern design. Very classic feel.

   Thank you, Douglas The fleur was Clara (my clients) idea to fit in somewhere into the design, and it worked nicely as a post seperator.

   Cheers, and happy new year to you!

   Thank you Lisa for a great design. I’m soooo happy with it. Calls for a glass of wine I think

   Hey Clara - thanks, I had a nice time with your design work. It definitley calls for a glass of wine… or TWO!

   I have received your other order, btw — we’re a bit backlogged in processing new orders at the moment, what with the holidays and the volume coming in - - but I will be getting to it this week, I assure you!

   Cheers!

   Lisa….just would like to say how re-freshingly, attractive, bright n’ cheerful, user friendly, all off your bloggs are… If only I had the money - I would have asked you to design me a Blogg for my own website… your work is Cool.! I admire your common sense approach to blogging, its pleasing to the eye.! if you have any ideas where I may find a cheap or free, user friendly on-line Blogg system, please e-mail me, I wish I had the funds to pay for your skill, but with my other financial commitments, that wouldn’t be possible…

   Warmest Regards, David… from the United Kingdom.!

   David, thank you very much for the compliment, I appreciate it! Of course, if it were up to my husband - since you’re in the UK - he’d probably let you pay me in Marmite I can’t stand the stuff, but he grew up there and can’t live without it.

   Why not give WordPress.com a try? http://wordpress.com

   It is a free set up, they have a bunch of themes/designs to choose from and the set up is run by WordPress, so it does give you many of the very same options you see on other WordPress powered blogs. It’s a great place to start - - plus, in the future, if you ever do want to move off their free hosted service to, perhaps, hosting WordPress on your own website with a custom design - you have the option to export all of the archives from one to the other. That’s the route I would go, if in your position.
