Night before last, we were up until at least 3am giving Tiny Nibbles a fabulous makeover. Many new features have been added and more are on the way. This upgrade is posh inside and swanky outside; I’ll be fluffing it up here and there as the days go by. If you love it as much as I do, give all props, thanks, air kisses, and big big ups to Ben Metcalfe (@dotBen) who did all the hard work, and a lot of custom tweaks to make the whole thing run smooth as silk in the background, and look so very smooth and fresh on your monitor now. He’s really “the best in the world.”

I’ve been getting a lot of compliments about it in Facebook, on my Twitter, my inbox, and in various post comments here. It’s a dream to work with and to look at. I hope you love it as much as I do. Thank you, Ben!

Site looks wonderful but I’m having rendering issues in Firefox (v3.5.x and v3.7.x) any ideas?

Oh yes, and very spiffy design. It’s slick and functional which makes it perfect.

3 Alex October 18, 2009 at 7:49 pm

Just wondering, but did the old Kink.com preview link disappear or is it hiding somewhere?

The site looks great! Love it!

LOVE IT

Very very nice! :D

I think everyone’s already mentioned any of the issues I’ve seen, but I really dig the layout and design. True to form, but still classy.

Very slick!! Nicely done.

just a heads up, I really love the new design, but it isn’t loading properly with safari 4.0.3, regardless of the screen resolution.

The makeover is wonderful Violet! I love your work, and this makes it even easier to enjoy. Thanks.

Reads well on my Mac, design is very nice Violet – congrats. Pale grey goes well with flesh tones! I do think the Tiny Nibbles aspect of the site is a little subdued, even though it is up there in the URL, there’s not much that says Tiny Nibbles elsewhere – just a thought. :)

Cheers

Ooo, shiny site! Normally, I read your posts via Feedly for Firefox so I didn’t see the change. I clearly need to indulge in your site’s sexy more often.

12 JR October 16, 2009 at 5:12 am

Nice n organized. Less clutter. I like it! :)

I am viewing this on a older MacBook and it is not rendering correctly. The top banner is over too far to the right and extending past the boarder about a inch .

The pictures to the right of your picture in too far left or your photo is too far right and overlapping onto your photo.

Your photo need to be moved to the left some to line up with the left center boarder or resized, that could be throwing thing off in the center section, but not the top banner through.

Just want to let you know what I am observing on my end.

Other than those issues I like the new look, also this is in my Top Sites as well, since I am a fan of your work.

I am running 10.5.8 and have all the current updates if this will help.

Absolutely yes, love the new layout and design.

Thought the picture for this article was you, at first glance. :D

15 Darkstar October 16, 2009 at 2:30 am

I don’t like it. It’s much too wide.

Violet, how can you read this on your black MacBook?

16 James October 15, 2009 at 10:12 pm

love it

17 DJTennessee October 15, 2009 at 10:04 pm

I really like it, and I always hate re-launches.

On IE8 I got redirected to the old age-verification page when I clicked on “Comments”, tho’.

18 Sophie King October 15, 2009 at 7:18 pm

Thanks so much for using one of my pictures! I am a big fan of your site, and I just started reading Fetish Sex. Can’t wait to see you on Oprah too.

Love the new design but the alignment of the pictures is off for me in Firefox on a mac.
The inner frame (the whole light purple area) seems to have shrunk, so that all the pictures get cut off on the side. But it’s just fine in Safari.

it’s a lot less cluttered, I’ll give you that.

so long as you keep hot girls coming (*ahem*) in those pics, think most of us are happy ;)

Many shouts to Ben and the work he’s done to the site – it rocks!!

V –
Been a long time follower / listener / reader and just wanted to say that your green eyes on the front page STILL slay me…………I am smitten.

Love it! :D

23 aag October 15, 2009 at 2:47 pm

It looks awesome.

Is this the Atahualpa Theme?

24 dudubrown94 October 15, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Violet,
I love your work and your website before and after.
This new design is great, I hope it is as great on mobile view too.
I am a fan of yours in the DC area. I read on one of your blogs that you were headed to the nation’s capital and would be geeked if I were to see you amongst the tourist on the Nation Mall or anywhere thereof. Keep on doing Violet and keep me excited. Your podcast are fantastic Ms. Blue.

25 Viviane October 15, 2009 at 1:59 pm

It’s gorgeous! Well done. Plus, I am happy you’re finally on Wordpress ;-D

26 Matches Malone October 15, 2009 at 1:54 pm

If the question is do I like the new design, the answer is a wholeheartedly yes….

27 njudah October 15, 2009 at 1:47 pm

the site looks great! what do you use to run your site? movable type, wordpress, or something else?

my blog needs a serious upgrade but I find my MT skills way way lacking…
