There's a brand spanking new layout on IateApie. Gone is the actual pie which I liked a lot - but it was time for a change. I'm not sure if I like this or not (it's so different from the last layout), so leave some feedback, especially if you're not digging it. The layout change is not completely finished - so please bear with us.

August Sponsors
Much love to our sponsors for August. You might have missed the 10% off deal that Vitalicious was having just for IateApie, but fear not, there is more of that goodness coming in September. And check out the review of those delicious 100 calorie VitaTops.

Self Magazine, another sponsor, is promoting their FREE Reach Your Goal One Month Body Makeover. Choose from four get-fit tracks.

Changes
As if you needed more! Our Healthy Diet Food Discussion Forum is coming soon - September 1st actually, so stick around and pay attention. That month we'll finally get around to starting the monthly prize giveaways, and it's going to be a goodie bag with some of our favorite "healthy kitchen gadgets." Speaking of which - there is going to be another sister site to IAP on that very same topic - so watch out for that too - Sept 1st (maybe - a girl needs to start getting more than a few hours sleep every night)!

Finally
If you haven't voted for us yet in the Black Weblog Awards Best Food Blog category - hurry up! It ends August 31st at 4PM.

And last but not least, I hope you've been getting your workout on by checking out IntheGym.net and listening to our workout playlists, and getting some motivation from the Workout Song of the Day. That's also our sister site and it could use some of your love and attention too.

Nominate IateApie for a Web Award
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | August 15, 2007

Okay, I normally don't participate in blog awards and such - mostly because I don't find out about them until after the deadline! But I caught this one just in the nick of time. Today is the last day for nominations in the Black Weblog Awards, and since we can't nominate ourselves, we are asking - really begging - someone, anyone, every reader of IateApie.net to fill out this Nomination Form.

Appropriate categories for IateApie.net: Best Food Blog and Blog to Watch

And since you are all being so kind, how about nominating IntheGym.net for Best Niche Blog and Blog to Watch.

You get all the love, thanks and warm fuzzies from knowing you did us a favor - and if we win, we get the same thing since there are no prizes!

New Poll: Do you exercise
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | July 26, 2007

Finally, there is a new poll up in the sidebar: Do you exercise? Of course my vote is for "Yes. I go to a gym" - I did start IntheGym.net which shows you just how much I wouldn't be able to live without going to the gym! I also own weights which I use at home, but unlike some people I could never be motivated enough to completely move to working out at home. Go vote!

* A little reminder: Current and past polls can always be found on the Voting Booth.
