So I've had questions about my blog and things that I do to make it look cuter, so I thought I'd spill all my resources! Truth is, most of what I do I've learned how to on other blogs. I've learned that being creative with the look of my blog gives me the same high that crafting does, wahoo!
Two things first:
1. Most likely you'll want to use some kind of photo editing software for a lot of these things (but not all). I used Adobe Photoshop. I know there are tons of free ones online you can use or download (however I don't know any of them :).
2. Don't be scared of html.
Before you try any of the tricks to change the look of your blog, SAVE YOUR BLOG TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. Also when you try something in your html click on PREVIEW first, then save if it worked click to enlarge
HOW TO CHANGE THE FONT ON YOUR TITLES/SIDEBARS:
I found a great blog that I love, called Kevin and Amanda. She's one that does it all, she talks photography, crafting, scrapbooking and she has TONS of really cute free fonts. Here she tells you how to change the fonts. Of all the things I've done on my blog, this took the longest, about an hour start to finish and you've got to do it when you can concentrate. I'll tell you though...I don't know how many time I freshened my blog the next day just to see the new look, bless my heart.
HOW TO ADD A CUSTOM SIGNATURE TO EVERY POST:
I don't know if you've noticed, but Cutest Blog on the Block has tons of blog design tips (careful some are just ads!) including how to add a signature to your posts. They also show you how to remove pesky border lines around your header, how to center your gadgets and loads of other things.
So there you go! Hope you find it useful!
