blog design

So let’s get on with the design tips!

Now I do have to admit, design isn’t my strong suit. It took me months to get my blog the way it is, purely because I’m so incapable of understanding technology. But I figured I might as well share what I’ve discovered through my hours of Googling and experimenting. So here we go.

Sidenote: All of these tips are entirely optional, of course.

Even though I’ve only had this blog for a matter of months, I’ve not been happy with my blog design at all. For about a month now I’ve been finding backgrounds and testing layouts, taking screenshots but never actually saving the design because I wasn’t completely happy with it.

But oh how that’s changed!

I wanted my blog to take on a certain look, but I don’t know how well I’ll be able to explain this…

Basically, it’s inspired by the word “frolic” in my blog name. That word reminds me of those whimsical photos you see on places like pinterest and tumblr, of a girl dancing around all dreamer-like. And this new design is exactly the sort of thing I’ve been looking for!

New design!

I still wasn’t sure whether to change the design or not, but I just kept coming back to it over and over. Plus the people I’ve asked prefer this one to my old design.

If you view blogs on a computer screen, it will look the same as above but with blue strips down the side, depending on how big your screen is.

My title images will be changing to suit the theme, so at the moment they may look a bit out of place.

I really love my new design!
