Coming Along

Thanks to some help by the creator of this original theme (you can find that link at the bottom of this page in the footer), it’s coming along a little more.  I got my buttons up on the side here.  You’ll see links to 6 of my favorite websites and about half way down this page, you’ll see a banner for MomDot, the home for mom bloggers.

I’ve put some different stuff down at the bottom and will be putting the recent posts back up into the side bar.  Slowly but surely it’s coming along.

I’m starting to not like the color choices I made at the top and bottom, but creativity is my biggest weakness when it comes to this redesign so I may end up leaving it at this…We will see.  Maybe I can come up with a better color combination to go with my carribean sunset image.

Still Working on the ReDesign

As posted previous, I decided I wanted a change…specifically I wanted to bars on the right and a bottom bar for my blog.  Because my WordPress coding, php, and css knowledge is seriously lacking, I’m still having a hard time, but working on it.  Be patient with me though and I’ll get it worked out.  I am happy that I got this photo up and going.  It’s my favorite photograph of all time and now I’ll see it and be happy everytime I load my blog. :)

On the agenda so far?

#1 – I don’t like the “advertisey” feel of the boxes here on the right.  I want to try just putting links up to some of my favorite blogs though – not advertising  - before eliminating it all together.  If I don’t like it, I’ll also try just moving it down some so it’s not at the VERY top of the side bars.  So far though I can’t figure out how to replace those images though so that’s why this is top on my list.

#2 – Don’t like the way comments are set up.  I think you have to look too closely to figure out where to comment.

#3 – What to put in the bottom bar?  Catherine at The Blonde Diaries commented that she rarely goes to the bottom and likes to see the last posts and comments so thought I should put something else down there.  So now I’m second guessing that? Opinions?

#4 – Cleaning up the sidebars.  After I figure out #1 above, I’ll clean up the sidebars.
