What a busy weekend! First I experienced that Aha moment with this site, but then I had to drop everything and run out and support my niece and nephew as they each exhibited their athleticism in baseball and football.
After shooting both games I decided to try out Day 10’s assignment from Reflection of You. The layouts below are my attempt.
Enjoy!
Welcome to my new site! I’m a little apprehensive, yet thrilled with this change. For over a year now I’ve been a little unhappy with my previous format for a number of mostly aesthetic reasons.
I really wanted my photos to pop off the page and while I’m sure I could probably have achieved the same goal with my former site, I was finding it very difficult to determine just how to do it.
The biggest hurdle though was adding pages. I have found that other bloggers solved that dilemma using custom layouts, but once again I was at a loss.
I can’t say this format was a cakewalk in that it really has taken me about a week to get things the way I wanted them and I’m still not totally satisfied. I’m posting today because it’s time – if I keep trying to tweak the site without adding content I’m defeating my purpose and languishing in a state of procrastination.
So take a look around and let me know what you think. There are still kinks to work out, but I think this is a good start.
Before closing I must thank Kim Klassen and Xanthe Berkeley for creating Reflections of You, an online course on blogging that has given me a greater sense of purpose for this space and great tips on how to create a more inviting site.
Again, welcome and please come again!
