I change my header (aka: masthead) each month. I used to constantly redesign my site. In the time I’ve been writing Life of Elle I have changed my design close to 15 times. It takes too much work to re write all that code. I have better things to do with life like breathe. So in March 2007 I started changing the header only. In 2009 I picked one design look and now change the tagline only. Each November the whole header is purple in honor of National Adoption Awareness Month. Does this mean the site design you see today is the design that was up last week? Likely no. I still rework the site. Like to keep you on your toes.
