I admit, I didn’t do much knitting over the weekend. Instead, I sat down with my graph paper, pencil and marker and drew. I haven’t done it in a while (as my cramped hand will attest) but it was very gratifying - not to mention lots of fun.
The rest of the time I fooled with the blog. Yes, I’m one of those annoying people who has to throw everything up in the air once in a while just to see what it will look like when it all comes down again! Nah - it’s just that I like playing with colors - knitting or graphics - they’re both color puddles for me to splash in :)
I have made some font changes - nothing extraordinary. They should be fine but, please, let me know if things don’t look right on your screen.
There are a couple of new additions on the sidebar. “How do I do That???” will house the tutorial posts. There’ll be more coming and I hope you all find them useful. “Patterns” holds the one original pattern I’ve come up with so far. I’m planning to add more as I noodle around with things.
There is also a new little graphic bar between posts. I’m not a wonderful programmer, so again, let me know if this is wonky on your screen or throws things off.
It should look like this:
Also, there’s a new banner :) This is also subject to periodic change as the whim strikes me.
Everybody should play with their blog! It’s such fun - except it’s hard to know when to stop messing with things :)
Happy Monday!
No trackbacks yet.
I must say I love the new Celtic look! I’ve always been a sucker for Celtic art, and if you’re interested in doing your own designs, George Bain’s book, Methods of Construction, is awesome. http://www.ransen.com/Articles/Celtic-Art/Default.htm
Oooh!
I think it looks great!
Monica & Anne - Thank you, glad you like it :) The designs are my own and I have two copies of the Bain book - in case something happens to one of them :)
Looks great! Now I feel like a slug, since my ‘blog is boring! I shall have to spruce the place up a bit once I am done with these blasted exams. :)
I like the open feel of your ‘blog—very nice!
Thanks Donna :) Funny, I’m not crazy about the “open” feel myself. I just don’t know what to do about it yet!
Hi Robbyn - love the Celtic look (with a name like Bronwyn I’d better!) I hear what you’re saying about the open feel - at first it feels a tad on the empty side but after awhile I think it says, “crisp, clean & uncluttered.” Live with it awhile & see if it grow on you. :)
Hi Bron!
Uncluttered…right! That’s the ticket. But I have an exceedingly cluttered soul :)
