I’m re-designing this blog template layout. I’m doing it in pieces. I’ve changed the header and the sidebar, but am not done with them yet. I’m doing on the fly, and leaving what I do until I work on it and change it again.
I’m in a mood to get it historical looking, old, something or other. So I’m playing around with Photoshop and colors and photos. The current sidebar has some of my bowlby family photos … two of places in Yorkshire where they hailed from, and one of a painting of an ancestor from that family, a Grandmother in the line, actually. She is the one who is the mother and wife of those whom came to America in the 1600’s.
It’s just my style to work on something until it’s done or I am sick of it. Something like this is also how I do it, right out in the open … live. It’s easier for me to do it this way. I doen’t mind the dust being seen by visitors.
So in this re-design I am planning on cleaning up my CSS sheet and getting the templates all nice and cosy.
I also have past posts that are missing parts, photos to be exact … they are still on the other host/server which used to host this blog, and I do not have access to it as of yet. Once it comes online again, my pictures will magically appear, at least some of them, the ones that were totally hard coded to URL. That URL my blog was is still over there. I changed it to my .us URL when I split my stuff up and came to this newer host.
I hadn’t done any work on this blog for so long, not redesign at all, just moving it to here and getting the stuff I could working with what I could. Then the last month or more I was without computer to do much of anything, and I wasn’t in the mood for trying when I did have access to a computer. The bug has bitten me again though, as is seen with this post about the re-design I’m in the middle of. 🙂
I like my blue .png smilies … I made them … but they don’t seem to fit here anymore. I’ll see what I can do. I’ll move them to my other blog maybe, and make new ones for here when I have time.
