I am soooo excited to say that I made my new blog design. I have been home the last three days working on it. It took endless amount Google searches, hours of YouTube videos and reading instructional blogs< Most of that stuff is like reading another language. Although the changes are minor, it was not easy. Who knew adding one picture would completely send everything else around it across the page. I am very proud of the fact that I completed it before the five day deadline I gave myself.

What I learned: Back up your blog template before making any changes. Save your designs or pictures even the messed up ones. Plug in your computer so it wont die before saving something that took a hour to make. I also learned that I like making designs. I got so caught up I would look up and 5 hours have gone by. I do plan to have my blog professionally redesigned but until then YouTube & Google will get the job done.
I used
- Photo Bucket & Picture Monkey to edit pictures, blog buttons
- Microsoft PowerPoint &Publish- to make Header, Signature and add Picture frame
- YouTube/ Google research
- To make buttons>Easily Create & Install Custom Social Media Icons
- Sidebar Gold Separation line>Add a line to blogger side bar
- To link my homepage picture to about me Text/ Image link Generator
