I’m sure you have now noticed that we made the jump to WordPress! The transition was long overdue but not quite yet finished. Although Blogger provided me the basis to get a foothold, WordPress allows me space to grow and flourish. You’ll notice several new things about this look:

1 | Featured Posts.  posts can be featured at the very top, usually some of the most popular posts. our new blog contributor, Lou, will feature her favorites up there too. It’s the best place to find what this blog is all about. Perfect start for new readers!

2 | Highlight Recent Posts. the most recent posts will be featured right underneath. So you won’t have to worry about missing anything, all the newest posts are right there!

3 | View by Category. I’ve found that many people don’t just scroll through a blog to see what’s up once they arrive, but enjoy peeking around by theme and category. So I’ve made that easier for you! As you scroll down, you’ll notice that the most recent posts from various categories are featured. Not only that, but up at the very top of the page you can filter posts based on categories from the drop down menu. Still not sure what you are searching for? There is a convenient search tool at the top right.

4 | Fresh, simple & clean layout. it works sort of like an online magazine but no ads to distract you from the content. I wanted this layout to give you full ability to find everything in one place, but give you room to explore and discover something older that you may have missed.

5 | Bright, bold imagery. sticking to the magazine theme, you’ll notice that I really tried to make the imagery stand out here. I’m a visual person, so I wanted that to grab you first!

Now, there are still a few updates I’m working on – you may notice some past posts with smaller images or broken links. Sit tight while I continue to update the past three years of this experience! But for now, please enjoy your time on sea, field & tribe. Discover something new and exciting, and be sure to check back often! We post weekly!
