Welcome to the new SGM!

Hey, you made it!
A quick word about my makeover and then we'll get back to business. When Erica at Squarespace first approached me about moving my blog, I was reluctant. What's wrong with Blogger? Why change? OMG. I'll tell you why. Because Squarespace makes things so easy for a technologically impaired person like me: I can do fancy customizations (and I'm talking dropdown menus and Jeff Lewis wallpaper, bitches) without knowing a bit of code. When I insert a photo, it doesn't show up at the top of the screen; it shows up where I want it to show up (are you listening, Blogger?). If I ever run into problems, there are humans standing by to answer my questions. It's insane. The only con is that it's a paid service (starting at $8/month), but...dropdown menus and Jeff Lewis wallpaper. Enough said.
My new banner and button (the image at the top of this post) were designed by Richele at Richie Designs. As you can tell, she's a genius. She does it all: graphics, illustration, letterpress stationery and greeting cards. She's also a good friend; I'd flip a table on your behalf any time, Richie!
If you subscribed to my old blog via RSS, you're going to have to do it again with this new site. If you subscribed via email/Feedburner, you shouldn't have to do anything.
Now, a pressing matter: Andy Cohen's very own Bravo show Watch What Happens debuts tonight at midnight EST (LIVE for you East coasters), and his first guest is Danielle. He is soliciting questions, so get on that shit! What are you waiting for? GO!

Love it. Very nice and clean looking.
Awesome - so glad you're back. Love the new site and bring on the snark.
Looks great!
Girl, your new blog is fantastico! Congratulations on your move, your new home suits you much better!
you go with your bad self! Just when you inspired me to get back on blogger and build it up.
Change is good, any idea what happened to Lewis on Chef masters?
Great job! This looks fabulous.
Holy Del Taco! It looks FAB! Better than I ever imagined... for realsies.
I'm really excited for you and can't wait to get back to reading the goods! Also, thank GOD you mentioned Andy's show. I had no idea about it and programmed the DVR to record it approximately T-2 seconds after reading it on this post.
MWAH!
Wish I could bring you a housewarming present for the new place--it looks fab!
Holy Craptastic Batman - this is awesome! It looks great! Love the tagline - release your inner stupid - I'm so there! You are the BEST!
YAY FOR YOU! AND US! AND YAY! I love it. I'm waiting for my sister's husband to stop being so busy (he's the only one with that problem right now, I swear) and design a website for me. It's what he does for a living. He should be able to do it for his good old twin sister-in-law.
I'm waaaaiting. I think I'll be waiting for awhile. :/
Thanks everyone!
Can you believe that I did not watch or dvr Jeff Lewis? Totally forgot and watch Entourage instead. My brain is mush! Is anyone watching Andy right now?
Love the new site!
Now. Are you watching this show?? Danielle just said that her favorite song was by Mylie Cyrus. Seriously...
Thanks for the heads-up about Andy's show. I couldn't send him a comment on his FB account b/c of the friend confirmation process bs.
Anyhoo, didn't Andy look fantastic? The best yet -- the lighting and his pink shirt were excellent choices. Love that he made another show happen.
I love your new home, you fancy bitch!
WOW! COngratulations. I was getting worried there that you might not come back. I am an avid fan and am happy for your new changes. Can't wait to see some of that JL wallpaper you mentioned;-)
I might have to look into moving on from blogger myself, I'm a total tool. I can't even figure out how to leave my optional URL here!
Nice change.
I'm watching an episode of HGTV's Get Out Way Out featuring Grethen and Jeff. It's not the house on RHOC and it's filmed before Jeff fell ill.
Love your new logo and love the site! congrats!
Congrats ! This looks fantastic!!! And I can finally comment from work! That's a major PLUS!
i'd flip a table for you anyday bitch
really? you'd flip a table for me?? [hand to chest in disbelief] I am so honored to be part of the new SGM.
Girl you're going to kill em with style and your inner stupid!!
xo richie
Love it! Makes me want to switch over from Blogger.
Love the new site! I wish I had known about squarespace from the start - I can't deal with migrating.
Fantastico! LOVE the new banner and the whole look is perfect. Congrats!!! I am heading over right now to check out Squarespace.....it sort of reminds me of Squarepants, as in Sponge Bob...what could be cooler than that?
Congrats. It looks A-MAY-ZING. . .i die!! Ha!!
I miss your Bravo recaps!! Glad your back at blogging again. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Miami Social.
And what ever happened to the long ago feature you used to do on Lucky Magazine style/fashion/office outfits. . . I miss those...
xoxo
Totally gorge! If I had a screen cleaner, I'd be licking my monitor right now.
So glad you're Squarespace'n it up!
