Wow!

I can't believe this. I designed my own banner and was able to manipulate the html template to change the body colors to match it! I'm amazed I did it! I am TOTALLY not savvy when it comes to programming anything computer wise, but after realizing what a techno illiterate I was, I was bound and determined to save my reputation. Cindy Keery (imagine.dream.create) was actually my inspiration to try this. When she was designing my watermark a few weeks ago, I realized exactly how illiterate I was when I had to ask her a million questions. It was so embarrassing. So first, I went into my Adobe PSE program and figured out how to make my own watermark, which I successfully did (Cindy, I am still planning on using the watermark you made me too!). Next, I told myself I was going to figure out how to complete the banner I had been dabbling with for a very long time, even before I hired Sam at Essential Sunshine to make me one.

I must give props to MissZoots at Zoots Designs. She has these amazing banner templates that she offers free of charge. It was really easy to upload the template into my Adobe PSE program to add my blog name to the banner. After I finished that, I uploaded it to my free Photobucket account. And then, following her instructions, I was able to imbed it into my html blog template. I still can't believe I did it. I think I'll be tweaking the colors for a little while, but, jeepers, isn't it springy? I think I'll revert back to my pink and brown banner (I still LOVE it Sam!) in the fall/winter months. I really need something bright, colorful and cheerful on here now that it's almost spring!

Let me know your thoughts on the new look. I hope you like it!
