Extreme Couponing, Houston Frugal Living Blog
I had to post this picture it makes me smile no matter what!
~ I need some honest feedback from all of you… what do you think of the new site?
Change is hard for me, it doesn’t feel like home on here today. But I think it looks cleaner and easier to find things.
What do you think??
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Change is hard for me too. But for some reason I always love change. I think you are right this is easier. ITs hard to get used to the options being on the other side. I LOVE that you have a button now. I will be sure to forward any readers!

Love the site…I hate change too. But I have had to learn to deal with it. Since 2001 my husbands company has moved us from NC to TX to MS to KY and back to TX.
I would LOVE to see an area where we can go to find coupon policies by store…without having to go to each store site and once there it is impossible to find the policy.
Great idea! I will do that tomorrow!
Okay, I have to be honest I am not digging the new look. I don’t like that it is wider than my screen and I can’t see what is on the right side without moving the bar at the bottom of the screen. I am sure I can get used to it though;-) I do LOVE your blog and appreciate all that you do!
Thanks!
1 – Your comments are much easier to use now. I didn’t like that having to use an “online ID” on the old site, so this is actually my first comment to you!
2 – I don’t like how the blog portion is only on the left of the page. Maybe put the kiddos’ pics on your Info page, instead of down the right side of the site? Even though your kiddos are super cute, and “pick-me-up” makes me smile every time I see her!
3 – Change is good. Fresh is good. And I completely understand wanting to shield your last name. (See #1)
Christy-
I really appreciate it! I need the opinions! Oh dear I didn’t realize that you had to scroll over, it shouldn’t be that way! We will see if we can fix it. Hang in here with me and we can work out all the bugs!
Thats the kind of info that I need!

Thanks so much for the comment!!
The designer told me not to put the kids on the side:) I think I will do it for a while just so I feel at home for a bit and so that people recognize my site because of them. I know that I will have to take them off here soon because I am going to have to have a place for store links etc. It is hard to find a template that will fit everything that you need.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I liked the old site and I like the new site. I don’t have to scroll over to see anything. It fits on my screen perfectly. Personally, I really like the pics of the children where they are at. I always smile when I see their cute little faces.
I think it looks great!
I like it and can read it all fine. I would recommend though putting the actual blog part in the middle with one column on either side of it. And I love seeing the kiddos faces, more personable I think but I can understand wanting to change things ups.
I like the new site. I don’t have to scroll. I also like the idea of blog in the middle. I like the kid pics, maybe just not so wide.
But I miss the sunflowers at the top for the site navigation.
For some reason, whenever I go into a “here” on your site (to print a coupon, etc), I can’t use my back browser and get back to your site. I have to go all the way back and start all over to get back to your site. And for some reason, it is only your site that does this. Maybe it is just a fluke with my computer??
I am already used to it! On my screen everything is perfectly centered and easy to see. I also like the search feature,I could never find one on your old site but that is probably just me. Thank you so much for taking the time to blog about all of these deals,you are much appreciated around our house! ?
I love your site, but I have to admit I do prefer the old look. I don’t have to scroll, but the entire right half of the blog is ads and other stuff … I tend to avoid blogs with all the ads and goo-gaws 🙂 just because they tend to load so slowly.
Thank you for the work you do – I come here first to find deals.
I like the new site, but I have to say that I think the green section on the right needs to be narrower. That would make the blog section bigger, and you would be able to see more posts on a page without scrolling. Also, the text/pictures on the green side stop once you scroll half way down, so then you are left with just empty space, which seems like a waste, especially when I have to keep scrolling and scrolling to see more posts. But love your blog!
