Blog Talk

Published by leslierich at 9:38 pm under Just Talk

Hi, there!  I spent a little time performing some administrative duties tonight.  Heaven knows, I have plenty of other things to do but sometimes a person just has to take a minute, you know?  Quite some time ago I settled on a three column theme for my blog.  It was the only three column theme available that wasn’t in use by several other people.  Gee, maybe because it wasn’t very pretty or interesting.  I couldn’t do anything with the header except change the color, and most of the colors were ghastly.  Even with the less offensive colors I selected my blog had more the look of a newsletter than the quiet, relaxing, feminine online stamping sanctuary I hoped to share with my friends.  I despaired of being stuck with it, though, because every time I tried to change it my posts went all wonky.  I still see some wonkiness here and there but I think from here on out it will (maybe?) be okay.

I believe I feel comfortable with this theme.  It has a light and airy feel.  The type is easy to read.  The comments are nicely separated one from the other.  Best of all, I can customize the header any old time I want to.  As of this writing I have one of my garden photos up there — not a very wintery scene, but pretty.  Yes, I think I’m okay with it.

Regular stamping will resume shortly.  Promise.  Have a wonderful day!

    Love the Bleeding Hearts. I like your “new” look. My blog really needs to have some tidying up but it will have to wait until the new year.

    This is lovely, Leslie!!! I have issues with my sidebar — there are problems with it that I am told are built into how it was made (not very well - LOL!!), but I’ve stuck with it because I liked the overall look and feel of it — well, now this one you have come up with has a similiar look and feel with a wonderfully neat and oragnzed side bar!!! I love this one!!! Your personal photo on your banner is wonderful as well!!! What a beautiful place to stop and visit, for sure!!!

    I really like your “New” Look and all that “Cupcake” talk has forced me into the kitchen….Hmmmmm. I can smell them baking! Keep up the good work, I love looking at the finished products!

    Your blog looks really lovely. And I think it really reflects your personality (as much as I know you) with the organized structure and pretty flower header.

    This is much better for me, Leslie! The words are no longer overlapping each other on the right side of the photos. Thank you! Linda
