Not usually. But thanks to our wonderful friend Sandy, they do this week.
House is on lock down, seriously. We've got our water jugs, batteries, lanterns, and the outside property is either in the garage or tied down. You're a fool to be messin' with New York, girl!
If you're new to my blog or haven't stopped in for a while, on this day I revealed my super lovely new blog design. Which I was able to easily create myself, thanks to Desirae at Sommerfugl Design, who asked me to test and review her blogger design eCourse. {Best decision ever.}
Why creating my own blog design was amazing:
--I learned exactly HOW the coding works to produce the look and feel you want. Such as aligning text and widgets, installing fonts and changing font sizes/colors, and creating borders and underlines.
{And that's only some of it.}
--Having knowledge of HTML lets you do basically anything you'd like instead of just following a template.
--Instead of paying the big bucks to have a template designed for you {and you not having a clue how to change anything to your preference}, you now have the ability to change, add, or redesign any of the different elements as you choose. Freedom!
--The step-by-step lessons provided by Desirae were simple and very clear. Easy to use and understand.
--I finally learned how to get rid of the border around my post signature!
Bringing us to today.
