Blog Makeover

I do love a lazy day right at the start of the holidays, and so Saturday was perfect for sitting about too much and faffing about with the blog layout.  I was getting bored and fancied a change.  I didn't mean to do so much, but I got carried away with myself - I quite enjoy messing about on the computer.  It's all ended up looking very girly indeed, perhaps a little too much - but spring is on it's way, and the bunting cheers the place up a bit! 

I wouldn't dream of pretending that I know what I'm doing, but blogger makes it pretty easy to customise things.  I recommend Yummy Lolly, who has a great tutorial on adding a favicon (that's the little heart on the tab at the top of your screen).  It's also where I got the bunting image from - I messed around with turning that into a .png file so it could be layered transparently over the background.

I like this font, and am very happy that blogger decided to make it so easy to use in the template itself.  If you want to use it elsewhere, you can download that one too from dafont. 

All feedback and constructive critiscism gratefully received!  What do you like?  What don't you like? Too fussy or busy?


P.S :: I noticed that Saturday was my two year blog anniversary!  Thank you for visiting me here, and allowing me to not feel like I'm talking just to myself ;-)  How would we feel about a giveaway soonish to celebrate?
