As you may have noticed, I have been playing around with the blog format these last few days. I know you can find cool templates online, but I really want to teach myself a little about html, so bare with me during this time of construction. Right now (although when you read this, things may be changed) I added a blog header designed in photoshop, but I can't seem to get it to load correctly... it looks pixelated and fuzzy. Hmmm. This one has been baffling me for a few days now, so if anyone has any tips please send them my way! I've been reading a little about color design and found a website that recommends color palettes so that your entire blog flows well and is artistically balanced. I haven't quite gotten there yet, but one of these days I'll figure it all out. As you are aware, I changed the name of our blog from Carolyn and Evan's Blog to The Tales of E & C. Once I get a little more advanced in web design I hope to design the blog around the theme of Tales and Stories... maybe make the headings look somewhat hand-written or as if found in the pages of a beloved children's book... we'll see. Wish me luck!
PS - What do you think of the size of the page? My home computer has a nice roomy display and easily accommodates the whole page, so it is hard for me to gauge what it will look like on smaller screens. Do you have to scroll to the right in order to view the whole page?
The size of the blog page is fine on my computer (MacBook Pro with i think a 14" screen). i think it's exciting that you're starting to learn about html :) i should venture into that too.
ReplyDeleteYes, we should learn together! I bet Scott knows a think or two already, no? Looking forward to an InDesign/Photoshop/whatever else you want to teach me tutorial sometime next week! : )
ReplyDeleteOn the little computer in the kitchen I have to scroll a bit to see the whole page, but it's not bad.
