I started my blog in July. I
had have no idea what I'm doing yet. :-) But I'm willing to learn. And, luckily, some people know exactly what they're doing. And they are willing to share what they know.
And they have step-by-step instructions...with pictures. Yay! So, when I was looking for ways to make my blog look prettier, I did a little Google search. And I found Kim at
Cheap Chic Home. She has some great blog tips which has helped me a ton. I even pinned her whole blog onto my Pinterest "Blogs to Visit" board.
Over the last few days, I spent a lot of time cleaning up my "Featured!" and "Where I Link" pages. I followed Kim's instructions and lined up all of those beautiful blog buttons. I am thrilled with the result. Actually, I'm so thrilled, that I finally made my own blog button!
If you're wondering why my button looks so different from the rest of my blog, it's because I decided to make more changes. I designed a new header on Pixlr and I'll reveal it tomorrow (hopefully)! I decided to jump into the world of graphic design - yikes. It was not easy for me. I spent a couple of hours looking at a blank screen. Completely confused. But slowly, I was able to figure out how to add pictures and layers and all sorts of fun stuff.
So, check out my "Featured!" and "Where I Link" pages. And, if you want to know how to line up all of those blog buttons on your blog, head over to
Cheap Chic Home for great instructions!
You're still ahead of me girlfriend! I spent hours fiddling with Picasa yesterday with nothing to show for it and then couldn't get my pictures to load. thanks for the link to Cheap Chic Home. I'll have to go there. I need all the help I can get! LOL! Yours looks great and I like your button!
ReplyDeleteI just started a blog too, so this is all new to me. I'm not good at writing either so it's really going to be a challenge. But I'm still going to give it a shot. Now I'm reading all the blogging tips I can find. Saturday I was uploading a picture into a post I was writing and everything went blank then error message came up and all my post I had published plus the one I was working on disappeared. I was so upset. Then Sunday midmorning everything was back. That was so weird.
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice blog, I like your button too. Need to make me one. I wish you the best of luck, and thank you for the link to Cheap Chic Home, I'm going to check it out now.
Thanks
