&lt;p&gt;Early in January with the approach of Megan&#039;s first anniversary, I decided Megan was going to be around for the long haul and deserved a look that was unique to her.&amp;nbsp; Up until that time I&#039;d been using two different TypePad themes.&amp;nbsp; They were nice and all, but they weren&#039;t special enough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--break--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One day I was on a site that said it was designed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://swankwebstyle.com/&quot;&gt;Swank Web Style Design Studio.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; I liked the look of the site, so I decided to check Swank Web Style out.&amp;nbsp; After filling out an extensive questionnaire about my likes and dislikes I began to work with &lt;a href=&quot;http://swankwebstyle.com/portfolio/category/designer/vicki/&quot;&gt;Vicki&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the next several weeks, we worked together via email.&amp;nbsp; Vicki sent me sample mock ups and I would modify them until we came up with the design you see today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Swank Web Style&#039;s services were great.&amp;nbsp; They didn&#039;t cost and arm and a leg, at least by web design standards, and Vicki came up with exactly the kind of design I was looking for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vicki designed the site, wrote the code and then installed and tweaked it as needed.&amp;nbsp; As of last week, our own version of beta testing was complete and this new great design is up and running.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I&#039;d like to official thank Vicki for her fabulous work and the folks at Swank Web Style Design for hooking me up with her.&amp;nbsp; If you need a new blog or web design, I highly recommend them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I hope you enjoy the new Megan&#039;s Minute as much as I do.&lt;/p&gt;
