If you are reading this via a web browser you can see that the new Entrepreneurs-Journey.com design is up.
There’s probably quite a few bugs since we also did a server move as part of this redesign, so I’d appreciate your patience while we fix any issues.
I’ll go through and explain some of the new features as soon as everything is working correctly.
Stay tuned!

Wow Yaro! I came by today to do some reading and was surprised with the new design. It looks really great! Congratulations, can’t wait for the walk through.
I like it. I found the old design a bit crowded. (On the other hand I’m pretty content focused so it never stopped me reading it.)
The photo of you next to blog profits blueprint I think has you looking a bit crazed. I think it’s great.
For those of us who already subscribe, do we get a copy of ‘How to Start and Internet Business” too?
I think it looks great so far. HUGE improvement over your old design. The old one was getting kind of dated.
Who did this design?
Hey Yaro
I like the new look, do you have someone who designs your sites, or did you do it yourself? I’m looking for some excellent, trustworthy designers. Thanks!
However, no matter design you use, the main value is your content. period. Even if you design yours like Google’s official blog (plain and boring – sorry, Google!), your content will out-shines your design.
Cheers!
Good Stuff, Yaro. The old design was fine, but I think this one is a step up.
I especially like that the Blueprint is above the fold now.
Really, really awful design Yaro. I love your content, but thank god for RSS readers. For being such a forward thinking techie I’d think you’d really be up to snuff design-wise. This is sub-par bud. Believe me, I don’t want to be saying this stuff but I can’t help but be honest and I hope you can appreciate that.
Great design Yaro.
Excellent redesign, Yaro! I really like it. I’ve been reading your first-class blog for at least a year and a half. I have learned a lot from reading your informative and entertaining articles, and now I’ve learned something else: What a professional blog redesign looks like when it’s done right.
This is a first-rate blog, keep up all of your excellent work!
Look forward to the new features.
WEb 2.0 tastic. I think it is a nice face lift. Only problem being your feed just sent me the last ten posts. Nothing we cant easily overlook though. All in all it is looking pretty great.
Yaro, the new redesign looks good. It’s simplicity paves the way to the great content that you provide. Great job!!
Yaro, you’ve done it again! I love how you teach by doing. The redesign is a veritable feast of new ideas for me to poach for my upcoming redesign/relaunch. You’re the best.

ewww.. I always liked the tabbed look you had going. Your olddesign looks professional, this one looks like a cheap web 2.0 template you downloaded off some free resource site. not impressed.
down to earth advice”? omg.. are going to get all spiritual and self-help on us now? I mean the post a few days ago about engagement was ok, but please spare me.
Nice! I prefer this less cluttered re-design. The new logo is a nice touch too (don’t remember seeing it before). Only maybe the white in the ‘EJ’ tends to blend too much with the lighter orange, and could probably use a fine darker orange outline.
To whoever did the design tweaking: Good job!
Looks cleaner and nice. Definitely more ‘marketing friendly’. I think that’s the main purpose of the upgrade, as design wise it’s not a big change. Still great.
Noticed that some url addresses for some of the archives are not working properly. When I clicked on one article, it shows another one. Though the numerical ‘category’ is the same. Eg. http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/562/article-i-want-to-read actually goes to http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/562/unrelated-article-i-wasn‘t-looking-for
Hope it helps with the de-bugging. Thanks for the great content.
Great design.. it looks wonderful so far! *=)
Great new design Yaro. It’s a modern look und it’s much clearer than the old theme.
Can you tell me, which plugin or script do you use for the small grey and wide banner at the very top?
Thanks for all the encouraging comments everyone (even you design haters – as always, you can’t please all of the people all of the time – though I expect it’s more troll behavior than anything else). I’m glad the majority like it.
We are still working through bug fixes (especially that URL pointing to the wrong articles one) and I’m uploading my ebook on how to start an Internet business that goes free to every RSS subscriber later today too.
I’ll make a post about that once it’s live.
I was surprised with the new design. looks so fresh ….
Can you tell me, which plugin or script do you use for the tabbed on top,beside the subcribe?
Dont listen to those haters. Its neat, clean, and easy to read. That should be all you care about.
Hi, Yaro.. Just recommend
Would U like to using Brian nested Comment, I think that should be more interactive for reply comment than using ‘@’….
oh ya, is the design is created by your self ?…. I don’t see any copyright . It’s cool design ….
It’s great having nested comments, yep!
I agree with the other comments I like the new look. I like really structured design that divides different pieces of content so my brain doesnt have to work to hard. Good work.
I like this new design much better, Yaro. I didn’t care much for the old one, and I read your blog _in_spite_of_ the design. This one might actually make people read it _because_of_ the design!
I like the old design better. It was more… you…
This one does look like a free template you can download… It is easier to read and less distracting, however.
I would probably have the designer work more on getting it to feel warm… How would you do that? I just can’t put my finger on it, but it I feel it needs to feel warmer.
I like the new design.
Well done.
I’d be glad to know if this has any role on your income.
I hope you all the best with it.
Franck.
Great new layout!
I like the new look quite a bit better. I also like the font size, easier to read all around.
Personally I liked the look of the other Entrepreneurs-Journey design better, but as long as the information continues to be high level as usual I don’t think a redesign will deter me from reading! Cheers!
Personally i like your design since the first time i saw it, but somehow it just looks tiny sometimes. With this new design i am sure your readers will feel more comfortable and spend their time longer than before reading your high quality posts..
Looks Good Yaro, I haven’t read through all the comments so this bug may have been pointed out, but in Safari the whole sidebar appears below the rest of the content – still on the right hand side, but below everything.
Hi,
For me the phrase ‘re-design’ when used in reference to a website or blog, usually marks the ‘jumping the shark’ moment, the point at which quality of content is sacrificed in pursuit of profit.
However in your case, you and your designer seem to have focused on useability issues rather than packing the ads in.
So overall I’d say your new layout is looking good, and it’s congratulations to you and your team.

I don’t know whether or not it’s my widescreen monitor, but there’s a lot of type- printing-on-type in your header and sidebar so I can’t really read what’s going on.
Hey I’ve been waiting to see your new design and you don’t disappoint. It looks great and I like what you have done with the new layout, which as a BM student I have been looking at closely!
I LOVE the new design, been reading for a long time but this is the best design BY FAR. Great work Yaro.
Yeah, I like it very much Yaro.
Great new design, how did you do this? Perhaps you can share a bit on how you choose the theme and any other technical matters when we change our design though using the same platform.
Thanks!
Nice new design it looks great!
good work Yaro.
