I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday. I sure did. After I recovered from my Turkey Coma, I began decorating the house for Christmas. Since I was on a roll, I decided to make a few changes here too.
Changing the backgrounds for your pages is not hard at all. For my Blogger blog, as you can see, I use Pyzam. You should check them out. They have a variety of backgrounds, not only for Blogger but for many customizable sites.
One problem I have come across with Pyzam, once you upload your new template code to the custom html, you are left with having to re-do all of your widgets--it only inserts the posts, archives, and 'about me' automatically.
Here's my solution to that: I've found that if I open a blank document, copy and paste all my little widget html codes to the page (labeling each one and leaving plenty of spaces between), then I have the html all in one spot. I don't have to jump from site to site to get my codes back. I'm sure there are coders out there that will roll their eyes at that and say, "why don't you just do..." Well, I only know basic html so I can't.
For my me page I use a little different process. Check out my eBay marketing tools article to see what I do to get it that way.
Change is good! I hope you like the new page.

Love the new page--subtle and pretty. It's so easy this season to get sensory overload--your new page is a nice balance.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it's a lot easier to read without the pumpkins in the background. I love being able to change my stuff around and "decorate" it to suit the season.
