html

grrrr, how frustrating is html!!!??? But it's a welcome change for me. Just like, after playing with pretty pictures all day I honestly don't mind doing my taxes. LOL It must be much like how an accountant wants to scrapbook. It's just so different from what you spend your day doing that it is a welcome relief! I hate and love html all at the same time! Like I hate and love numbers at the same time! So, anyway, obviously I have been playing with html today. I updated my own blog first. Not much, I still felt I wanted it to look the 'same' but it needed some modernising. I hated that rectangular header I have had for so long. I have been thinking about doing it for a while now, mixing things up a bit, but I am such a procrastinator! I would like to do some digital scrap kit designs actually - not for commercial or anything, I'd just like to offer a couple here on my own blog for free download. Would you be interested in that? I really want to know, so if you leave me a comment about it I might be able to muster up a RAK! So anyway, I digress... html. grr Mine gave me the most grief LOL, probably becuase it was my first. Then I moved onto Toni's blog. Easy Peasy that one. She is passionate (yeah, passionate!) about green and brown vintage. And I finished the day on Kerryn's blog. Tried to bring out her style in the design - she is always inking and sanding so that was a given. A bit of hambly overlay, a bit of scenic route, a butterfly (it's an in-joke!) and 3 buttons in a row (I'm not sure if she realises it, but it is practically a trademark for her!) so the design for that one came together easily as well, but for some reason her code did my head in!!! must be all those freaking links she has!!!!!! lol I am a bit jealous of Kerryn's blog now actually. I love the kraft! I'm not 100% sure what I am doing with the codes, but they are starting to make sense to me... I'm not at all interested in going too much further with this blog customisation thing, but I do want just a little more practice while I am enjoying myself with it, so if you are on blogger and you'd like a makeover, email me. aspinalls at optusnet dot com. I will do 2 personalised blog makeovers to your specifications, just for fun. But then it ends! Don't expect me to start designing blogs. I just want to play a little bit more before I give it in. You must be on blogger though, I am SO NOT going to try and learn a new version of html after just starting to understand the blogger one :) Looking forward to hearing from you... Well, I'm off to spend some long overdue time on the couch with DH Have a nice weekend!

Hey Nic
I love the new "look"....I wouldn't mind a new look blog myself....I dont have a background and my header is just a photo....I have tried a few times to add a background but I end up taking it off because the comments disappear...I'm just grateful my blog posts are successful. That's a major plus for me !!! so if you would like to makeover my blog (could you makeover me as well) I would absolutely love you forever!!
Hugs
Carol

looking good Nic. looking really good

I have been thinking about widening my centre of my blog a bit, in other words dropping out the right margin all together. still leaving the right sidebar there tho.
any tips. laymam terms works well with me.

I did have a play a while back, and I lost all my widgets. I did have a sig but that stopped working after a week or so. I have been very reluctant to fiddle any further,just in case.

good luck with playing with digi. It is fun isnt it.
