Blog Makeover!

If you haven't noticed, things are looking a lot different around here! Since I've been sick, I figured I'd take advantage of my time on the couch by re-doing the look of my blog.

I've never really been happy with the way this blog looked - I always thought the background was waayyy too busy. Unfortunately, when I set it up last January I had too much on my plate to spend a lot of time on it. I was busy preparing to leave for Thailand, creating our little website (RustyandEricka.com), helping Rusty set up a new blog, working on The Sound of Hope blog, and trying to get this blog ready before we left.... so after messing with it for a little while, I gave up and just left it alone.

But after seeing how it looks now, I'm so glad I re-visited the design! I also added a little "about" section that I might expand later, and I updated my settings for any of you who want to read my blog on your smart phone. I think the background makes it so much easier to read, and I really like the new color scheme. I'm still new to blogger, and an "html-er" I am not - so this is the best I can do right now as far as makeovers go. Someday I'd like a more personalized header, and I'd really like to create categories you can click on to read all my posts on, say, Thailand for instance (is that possible in blogger?) - but for now, I'm happy with my little improvements!

What do you think about my blog makeover?

  1. You can put a search bar on your sidebar, or you can put a label section over there. It will list all the labels you've used on your blogs and people can click a label to see all posts with that label. There may be other ways, but those are the only two that come to mind right now.
