You may have noticed that Daily Pie's layout has changed a bit.
Gone, of course, are the daily topics. But when I cleared those from the left sidebar, I had the urge to really simplify the front page of the blog. So I took advantage of Blogger's Page feature, which allows me to publish separate stand-alone pages. I took a lot of what had populated my sidebars and moved the info to dedicated pages. The page titles sound like commands, but they're just reminders to me of things I want to do every day:
Write: my current project(s), agent information, links to selected writing posts, and interviews other bloggers have done with me
Read: upcoming book releases across genres and markets, and (via GoodReads) my current and past reads
Cook: recipes, favorite cooking and baking websites, and a farmers' market-finder tool
Grow: current challenge(s) I've set myself, and past challenges
Give: causes I support with regular contributions of funds, time, and/or word of mouth
As a result, we're back to one sidebar and a simpler front-page reading experience.

The new layout looks great! You've inspired me to think about cleaning my blog up... if I ever have time :)
Awesome - good luck making time! I need to do the same to start an author website.
