Picasa Header Tutorial

I have been wanting to update the look of my blog now for a while, so tonight I decided to create a new header. I have used this tutorial from Clover Lane twice now. Sarah (creator of this site) has it so easily illustrated. It still took me quite a bit of time as it has been awhile since I have been on Picasa (still learning). Hopefully, I will be able to figure out a few more things to change....and maybe even be able to eventually link this back to her.

Blog Button

Tonight I finally conquered making a button for my blog with success.

 Not necessarily an easy task for a not-so-smart HTML girl 

The challenge drove me crazy for the past month. 

Well, not the entire month, as I became too frustrated getting the code right that I had to step away for a while.

Regardless, I had success tonight....HOORAY!

So if you are a bloggy friend....show some bloggy love and grab my button (located on my sidebar) and paste it to your site.

Back up your blog

The other night, my heart sank after I hit a wrong key on the computer (not really knowingly) and my blog was lost in the horrible internet universe. All the memories and work that went into it....GONE. Fortunately, I had read the importance of doing the very simple task of backing up your blog. I had done this sometime back in June. I was able to import this file....hooray!!! Sadly, I had only lost all of summer, along with my blog being reinstalled in the new blogger form. And might I add, that I am not a BIG fan of the new blogger program. But this was better than losing the whole lot of posts.

The next day, still really bummed, I set forth on one last attempt to find my original blog. Success...i found it, but yet again, in the new blogger form. Happily, I frequent a variety of blogging sites often to learn tricks of the fascinating world. And I was able to return my blog to its old layout.
