In the past I’ve criticized Oklahoma for safe, almost boring Gymnastics. That’s not at all the case this season. Their routines are interesting. Varied. Floor choreography is great.
Balance Beam Situation points out that their team average on Friday of 197.465 was the highest ever at this point in the season. They scored 198.150 that night to up the number.
I’d have to say Oklahoma are favourites to win NCAAs this year.

new look for Gymnastics Coaching
This is it.
The previous “theme” was ancient. I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
GymnasticsCoaching.com had to have some kind of an upgrade. I moved it to the highly popular Twenty Fifteen theme:
… clean, blog-focused, and designed for clarity. Twenty Fifteen’s simple, straightforward typography is readable on a wide variety of screen sizes, and suitable for multiple languages. We designed it using a mobile-first approach, meaning your content takes center-stage, regardless of whether your visitors arrive by smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.
I’m a laptop guy. But in 2015 laptops are the minority. Mobile (phone and tablet) use surpassed personal computer use in the USA in 2014.
The font is larger to be more readable on smaller screens.
It now has infinite scroll that works more often than not. Responsive design so that the site changes depending on your device. No header image, starting the new content closer to the top of the home page. Quotes and links to other pages are more conspicuous than the post font.
Links are more obvious. Old school. The traditional blue colour, underlined.
Twitter more prominently displayed. I’m using it more and more these days.
The biggest problem in 2015 is embed codes. Facebook doesn’t want you to leave Facebook, so they make it difficult to embed their posts elsewhere. You can do it, but results are mixed. They often look crappy hoping you’ll go back to Facebook.
Posts from this site are automatically cross-posted to my Facebook page. That’s working better than in the past.
Tumblr was added in this site revision. But Tumblr is a mess in many ways, the worst of the major social media platforms. Embed codes from Tumblr may or may not work depending on where you try to watch them.
The new theme is not perfect, but better overall. I’m starting to get used to it.
Leave a comment if you have other suggestions for improvement.
