LuLu's New Dress!
28 March 2010
| blogger templates, freebies

It's basically just your normal 2 column minima with an extra side column. There's one that's just perfect for free backgrounds by such fabulous designers as 1stFloorFlat, Itkupilli's Cute'n'Cool, the Background Fairy and more. I call that model the "Skinny" because it's a slender one that fits the design specifications of most free backgrounds.
But I also developed templates with extra elbow room and I call them "Standard" and "Wide". Think of them as ectomorphic, endomorphic and mesomorphic templates respectively.

Vintage Easter Greetings!
I don't usually post items I'm selling in this -- my personal blog -- because I use my shop links for items I'm selling either directly or through Etsy. I do this as a courtesy to my readers because who wants to read stuff I'm selling (which is a lot) all the time? I sure don't. Unless I'm in the mood to shop.But today is going to be different. I'm cross-posting this gorgeous Easter Bonnet/Vintage

Posting Transparent Images in Blogger (A Follow Up to 1stFloorFlat's Recent Blog Post)
24 March 2010
| blogger tips and tricks, templates
Lucky for me, the background on my blog is white so my readers and I often fail to notice the effects of transparent .GIF and .PNG files.
But in designing darker Blogger templates I've noticed that the issue comes up where supposedly "transparent" items have a white background. In a recent blog post from Susie Jefferson of 1stFloorFlat she offers some quick and dirty work around solutions and it's worth checking it out over there.
I just wanted to take a moment to explain what is going on.

A St. Patrick's Day Video Card from Glamour Bomb

The song says, ‘It’s not easy being green,’ but the song is about knowing who you are. And in it you can hear Jim [Henson's] message loud and clear. We should learn to love who we are and be proud of it. And that's the way we learn to love each other.” – Ray Charles
