theclassicmoviemuse It’s party time, friends!
3 years ago I pushed the published button and this blog tremulously made its way into the world wide web.
Since then I’ve had the privelege to meet kind, passionate film lovers from all around the world, discover movies I never knew existed, and glean important life lessons along the way.
I never dreamed starting the Muse would enrich my life in the way that it has, and I thank each of you so very much for coming along with me on this adventure.
Time for a NEW LOOK
I’m SO excited to introduce you to the features of my new design!!
But first, three reasons for the update…
- To provide a more user-friendly experience for my readers
- To present a clear picture of what my blog is all about
- To share more of myself with you
The new design is modern, classic, and easy to navigate.
My logo adds a personal touch and the ‘welcome’ section on the sidebar offers a peek into my life and why I write this blog.
There is still some fine tuning to be done as I make my way around the nooks and crannies, so keep an eye out for updates!
CMBA Member Profile
Last month the Muse was given the privilege to be profiled by the Classic Movie Blog Association.
The Classic Movie Blog Association is a talented group of bloggers who are dedicated to bringing the best of classic movies to the internet. Every month they feature a member profile on their website.
When you have some time, I encourage you to peruse the list and read the profiles. It’s a wonderful way to discover classic movie blogs!
Once again, thank you for being here, friends!
Do you have any suggestions for the Muse – movies or personalities you’d like to see covered?
What movies are lined up on your queue this weekend?
Let’s chat in the comments!
Lovely new blogging look Ari, this looks fantastic and I love it – congratulations for the last 3 years and some terrific posts blogathons. And thanks for introducing me to the composer behind those musical scores I adore.
Thanks very much, Gill! <3 Happy to share the love for Bernard Herrmann and so glad we get to enjoy his music together. Just rewatched Marnie not too long ago. It made me think of you. Thank you again for stopping by and for this oh so lovely comment! :)
I am really happy that you have joined the entertainment blogging world. And looking forward to reading your future posts and joining your blogathons – and of course seeing Picnic.
That’s very sweet of you, Gill. Likewise, my friend! I’ve discovered wonderful films through your blogathons. Thank you for warmly welcoming this newbie to the blogosphere! 🙂 I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Picnic.
I am looking forward to it. Your reviews and Kim Novak make it sound like a magical movie..
Firstly, congratulations on the anniversary. You have brought a refreshing new voice to the land of blog.
And the redesign is certainly attractive.
Thank you very much, Colin! That means a lot. I appreciate your support.
Your blog is a pleasure to read and I always learn something new when visiting. Thank you for what you bring to the blogosphere 🙂
🥳🎉 A massive congratulations on your 3rd blogiversary, Ari!
A truly monumental achievement and one that you should take great pride in 💝
You have created such a wonderful place for us to come, chill, read, relax, chat, learn, connect and above all, come away from feeling inspired, motivated and excited to experience and re-experience so many cinematic gems 🍿✨
Your passion, enthusiasm, knowledge, warmth, GIFS (I gotta compliment you on your GIF usage girl, it’s impeccable every 👏 single 👏 time 👏😂) and your magical way with words has helped me to appreciate new and old favourites. Has introduced me to and helped shed new light on alternate perspectives, elements and moments within movies across so many genres. Your appreciation and wisdom regarding the importance and beauty of various film scores and the folks behind them has been such a joy to discover. Bill Holden. Just going to pop those two little words there, because, quite frankly, I know you know exactly what they encapsulate 😂💕
And I’m sorry, I just have to add two more here… Kim Novak 💜 Because.
I’m so happy to have connected with you, shared in your love of classic movies and your appreciation for everything and anything that went into the making of them ❤️
Your blogathons have been a FANTASTIC and creative way to interact and meet other film loving fanatics 😁🍿 and I honestly can’t wait to see what you have in store for us over the next 3 years 😉😊
The new design is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Loving the fab new look. The navigation is very easy to…navigate 🙄 cheers for that Lee… but it is!
I love the classic feel (very apt 😉) and really enjoy the way that more of your posts slide across the screen. And my goodness, your new film reel logo is absolutely perfect. 100% spot on. Classy, elegant, refined aka. You ☺️ Speaking of which, that photo of you…girl…you are DAZZLING!! A true beauty inside and out 💝!
Congratulations on this milestone and gorgeous new look, my friend 💕👏 You have created such a special space, that is beyond appreciated xox
Wow Lee, your comment literally takes my breath away…I don’t think it’s possible to express my gratitude for your generosity and very great kindness. These two little words don’t seem sufficient but they are all I have. THANK YOU! <3
I am so glad the new design has the Lee seal of approval!! 🙂 The slider is a lot of fun, isn't it?
It's been wonderful getting to know you through our shared love of classic movies and, now to call you my friend...Well, as Gene Kelly sings, "Who could ask for anything more?" 😉
