Salam & Peace everyone,
You may have noticed some changes here at Muslimas’ Oasis, and I’m writing to tell you more about what they are. We’ve been looking for our niche for a while and we think we’ve finally found it! Here are the changes taking place here on MO:
- Logo change – This is the most obvious. We’ve combined a new font, old imagery and a new color scheme to create our new logo. We love it, what do you think?
- New tagline – Muslimas’ Oasis is now ‘The Muslim Mother & Child Blog’. Don’t get us wrong, we’re still the same authors, and our readership goes well beyond Muslim mothers and children, but we think that tagline best sums up the kinds of topics we talk about and the authors who talk about them.
- New theme – We wanted to simplify, so we have. This theme is called Yoko and we love it! Our old theme was custom and a lot of work to maintain so we moved out and into a free theme developed and maintained by someone else.
- New Category Layout – A few category name changes and mergers, otherwise, the same basic idea. An expanded parenting/kids category tree and review category tree.
- Consolidated Projects – We are moving all of our app review from Muslim Friendly Apps over here under the review category. The app review category will be called Muslim Friendly Apps and it will keep its own facebook page and twitter. We’re still deciding if Blue Hijab Day will also be incorporated into the main site as well, what do you think?
So here’s to more growth and more amazing posts from a group of amazing sisters! More collaborations with other sites and blogs, more reviews of amazing apps and products, more authors joining us and bettering and bettering bettering ourselves through writing, reading and opening our hearts and minds.
Masalama – With Peace
