Hey Donna, thanks for stopping by the blog! I really just kind of learn as I go, but there are a few sites I use that are pretty user friendly that I love! To make the header I love scrapblog.com, you go to the site to create an image or "scrapblog" that you want, then once you hit "publish" i just save it to my computer, from there you click "customize" on your blog, then "edit" on the header box, then upload it from your computer (scrapblog will also give you the option to publish it directly to your blog as a normal post)... For backgrounds I like to use cutestblogontheblock.com, and on the homepage it gives step by step directions on how to apply it to your blog, which is nice. For backgrounds I also really like matiekay.blogspot.com, and you can apply it to your blog the same way that it says on cutestblogontheblock. I use pyzam.com and lilypie.com for countdowns/timelines/other types of widgits; they also have a good selection of backgrounds but I've found that when I use them I loose all the information on my page (other links, widgits, etc.)... playlist.com has a pretty good song selection if you want to do put music on the blog, and I just use blogspots option for the slideshow (from your blog page click on 'customize', then 'add a page element', and 'slideshow'; you have to add the pictures that you want to one of the programs they list first; i recommend picasa since it's pretty easy to use!) Sorry this is a lot of information, I hope it helps and makes sense, please feel free to send me an email if you have more questions! ambersphillips@gmail.com... I also have those links and some others listed on the sidebar on my blog if you want to snoop around those also... good luck! :) amber
Thanks for your advice Donna, I love hearing stories of how other women have gone through this and everything has turned out great! You have great kids, I love Cammie to death! Also just wanted to stop by and say congrats to you, she told me the news! :)
I have been married for 24 years, and have four wonderful children. We currently live in Arizona and try to find things to do during the hot season. One event that we love to do is taking the boat out to the lake and spending time in the sun.
