I have really loved this blog. It has been wonderful therapy and great fun.
I have really enjoyed all the creative inspiration I find and the friends I have made.
I was playing around with my design settings today and just can't get the look I want. I have this image in my mind of utter coolness that is just not really coming out.
I think I might have just outgrown the blogger design area.
It may be time to BEG a designer to make me a real layout.
So - what do I do from here. It's not like this is my business and I am trying to make an income at it.
I really just write for the sake of getting it all out of my head.
But the layout -
I want a simple white background - it appeals to me
I want to keep changing my header every month, its fun
I want a real life button - maybe something with a atomic ranch-ish owl
I want to have the blogs I follow be a bit organized in sections
I need to get my labels under control - the list in too long
And my archives are about two miles too long (have I seriously done almost 40 posts in the month of Feb? I am insane)
I have always like the layout over at clover lane
And I love the bright pictures but not overwhelming backgrounds at flowerpatch farm girl
But I love the rainbows over at pink and green mama
Throw some suggestions at me peeps? Who can hook me up with a designer?
I have used designer blogs (www.designerblogs.com) they are reasonable, and do a great job. however, their waiting list is quite long.
ReplyDeleteI also have a friend who designs blogs. her address is http://www.designsbydanasears.blogspot.com/
She does a great job and I know she could really use the money. Her son, Mason, is special needs and they have had a horrible struggle getting funding from the Canadian government to help get Mason's therapies (he has autism and Smith Magennis sp? Syndrome)
Good luck! I can't wait to see the new design!
I know what you mean. My blog needs an update but I honestly can't see paying some of the insane prices I have seen.
