Changes???

I've been thinking of changing the look of the blog for some time now... I'm not usually big on change so I do it slowly and with as little fuss as possible...

As you can see, I've added my Etsy store banner to the top and changed the background color. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the banner fit into the spot perfectly without asking the person who made the banner to make it a fraction smaller...it is slightly outside the box on the right? My knowledge in the makings of a banner are nil...suppose I could learn but don't know where to begin! I like the color but not sure if I like it for the blog. I'll leave the changes for a few days to see if it grows on me...if it doesn't will try something else new!! Maybe a complete new template, not sure yet.

If you have a definite opinion either positive or negative leave a comment!

Cheers
PS...thought I'd show you this little beauty listed in my Etsy store...love this bracelet, it is made with Bali silver beads and sterling silver findings, not two will ever be the same...one of my favorites. I have one I made myself a year ago and I wear it almost everyday because it goes with everything and always looks great!


Cheers again...

  1. I like the new banner! I don't know why the Etsy banners are a tiny bit too long to fit in the Blogger box. Mine's the same way and I've seen others like that too.

  2. The banner looks great! I don't know how to center it, though. Hopefully you will find someone that can help you. Your blog looks very nice. I like the soft brown color.

  3. The banner is a fantastic. You can make your borders for the banner on Blogger the same as the page background so that it doesn't show. I know that you can also remove them. Email me if you need more help, I am not thinking yet...more coffee!!

  4. Rather than centering or making the banner smaller, what you need to do is get rid of the box line. You have to adjust your template. If you go to the help section of blogger and type in "white line banner" I think it will pop up the answer. If you can't find that or figure it out, come and visit me and I will find the information and help you.

  5. I do like the banner and I am trying to figure out what to do with mine. I hired Anna from Chica and Pumuckl designs. It is fun to create a new page! Love the bracelet!

  8. Love the banner and LOVE the bracelet too! Beautiful things! I, too, have found several different blogs thru the Blogger Help box, that offer all sorts of tips for those of us who really don't know anything about editing html etc.! Happy January to all!

  9. I agree with the others that the easiest thing to do is to take the lines away from the banner but there is a way to center it if you add it to your template code and not use the gadget page in blogger.
    I love the banner by the way and the bracelet is gorgeous.
    Are you by any chance related to Nina Cote? I purchased my first beloved newfie from her in the early 1990s.
