March 30th, 2005 by Gabriel SerafiniHi there. We’ve got a shiny new template up for On Healthy Living which you should have noticed if you’re reading this. 🙂 Don’t worry — it is strictly vegetarian, and the soothing blue background should, uh, calm your frazzled nerves. The juicy header graphic? Well that’s to give you some sweet and tart inspiration for your writings about living the healthy lifestyle. And stuff like that. If you have any feedback about the new look please leave a comment.
