A new blog design!

Posted on June 18, 2018 By Becky

pretty fabulous blog theme example

Hi all, after several days offline, my blog is back and I’m so happy with the result!

You know the saying “a change is as good as a rest”? Well, I definitely feel that having a new blog design can be a breathe of blogging fresh air, and I’m so happy with this result after nearly 2 years of my old design. 

Whilst my menus and categories are the same title-wise for the time being, I love the layout of each category page, so posts are easy to find and see. 

I couldn’t have done this without the help of the wonderful Susan from One Happy Studio over in the US, who spent time installing a new theme and fixing a few glitches- stuff that I just haven’t had time for and would’ve taken me a frustrating amount of said-time had I tried to tackle it myself.

I highly recommend her- best $50 I’ve ever spent!

I would love to hear your feedback on the new-look blog: what looks good, what works (and what doesn’t). 

Normal service has now resumed… I best get back to work, I have a whole load of blog posts to crack on with!

  It’s been just over a year since I started this little blog of mine, probably about a year now since I started blogging regularly. It’s only been the last couple of months that I’ve finally felt comfortable in my ‘blogging skin’ so to speak, as I’ve realised that it’s…

Blogging is a funny old thing. To non-bloggers, or people who don’t read blogs full stop, they can seem like a load of self-indulgent waffle. Lots of writing about stuff that might not interest the majority. A hell of a lot of time spent on writing posts, and taking photos,…

    I love it Becky! I’m wondering if that’s what I need to get myself back and motivate again. I’ve lost my blogging mojo somewhere along the way and am finding it really difficult to get motivated. Did you get someone else to do it for you? xx
