My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
SURPRISE!
Yes, it’s a new template design.
I bet you thought you were at the wrong blog, hu?
This weekend, I decided to do a bit of remodeling here at Vent. I wanted something new. Something with a bit more color, but still clean and minimal. I’ve had a simple white blog design for the past several years now and felt like a change. I kept my old template design on file because I might one day go back to it. I like the look of a predominately all white template, but hey…it was time for a change.
Also, this was the perfect time for me to do this because I’m a long vacation from work. Three and a half weeks to be exact. And brother did I ever need it! I’ll tell you all about it in another post this month.
Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely creative, visually.
Let me just say, that I did not create this template myself. I got it from Deluxe Templates, who provides both Blogger and Wordpress Themes. I searched and searched for DAYS until I found this one. I was actually going to use another template at first, but decided that this one had better features. I’m also able to play with the HTML coding more on this one than the other. I customized this template a lot, but the overall design was not made by me.
There’s only one thing that bugs me about this template. You may have already noticed it on your computer monitors. There is a thin black line between the post date and post title. Do some of you see it? And the reason I ask is because I don’t see it on my desk top computer, only my laptop. I’ve tried doing everything to remove it, but I can’t seem to find out WHERE that particular piece of code is located.
Anyway, I’ll have to live with it until I can figure it out.
But if any of you DO see it, please ignore it.
Because it’s bugging the SHIT out of ME!!!!
I'm OCD…..what can I tell you?
Oh, and before I forget, I will also be purchasing my own domain name for this blog sometime this week. So if things get a bit strange when you click over on my blog link, just know that it will be going through a transition period. I read a few stories on Blogger forums, that sometimes it can take a few days for things to fully make the transition. So say a prayer for me that it goes SMOOTHLY.
If I have any trouble, I’ll post and let you know.
My blog feed may also change, so I’ll let you know if you have to change it in your readers. But I also heard that my feed changes over automatically.
So…welcome to my new blog design!
Please let me know in your comments if something is not easy to read, like the fonts or link colors. Are they too light? Too dark ?
Oh, and one more thing….the pageload.
Did this template load at a decent speed for you? I does for me, but I don’t know how it is on other browsers.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback everyone.
It is currently 1:30 a.m., and I've been working on this new template remodeling for HOURS, so it's time to go to bed. I'm a'pooped!
Have a grreeeeeeeeeat week!
And Happy 4th of July, America!
