A couple of weeks ago, I started writing my articles in English rather than in French. I really enjoyed writing in French because it's my first language, but a switch was necessary. Nearly every blog I am subscribed to is written in English, and I feel it can be easier to access my blog if it's not written in French.
Anyway, today, it was the finalization of a new blog design. I had started yesterday to draw a couple of doodles and do the header, and I think it's now finished. Not perfect but I like it!
Here's how my blog looked like:
I kept this blog 'design' for about two years... I liked its simplicity, but it was time for a change.
Of course, I did not do everything by myself when making the new design (well, except for the drawings I guess).
First, I just googled something like 'how to make your own blog design blogspot' and stumbled upon this page.
The author of the blog makes lovely designs, and I really liked the style showed in her tutorial. On top of that, everything seemed to be well explained. So I decided why not jump into it. :D
I started by drawings some cute stuffs on Paint, and make my cookie header and borders on Gimp 2.
After, I followed the steps in the tutorial to assemble everything into a blog design.
Sounds pretty simple like that, but it actually took me a whole day and a half, especially because the little drawings took me quite a while (and I had no idea what to do), and dealing with the CSS part was kinda difficult and long.. (a lot of trial and error) but all in all, I made it through hehe.
One problem I had that I still haven't found a solution though is moving the whole article text more to the right..
 |
| This is the bottom part of the article, but everything higher is the same. |
But I did find a solution on a website where they told us to add a column on the left, so I added one (now I have one column on the left and one on the right (but the one on the right was always there)).
Even though it's not perfect, it's still better than having the text over the left border!
I am still not yet finished with this blog's design, as I want to add other cute pastries all along the top header. I also want to do a background for the blog. Although, this will be done another time.
For now, I am quite happy with how my blog looks, and I thank Blog Designs by Dani for all the help making this design.
Byebye!

Looks like this design is not really optimized for the mobile version of Blogger, sorry!
Besides leaving it as it is, you can always click on
'View web version' at the bottom if you believe your mobile will handle it:
