Four Steps to Spruce Up your Blog.


Below are four simple steps to spruce up your blog a bit. I hope you find something you have been looking for :)

First: Lets Widen your blog up. I am sure many of you are like me and you like the look of nice big headers and sometimes post areas. You can see this on Kam's blog and Malori's blog.

Second: Lets create a custom header shall we? With incredible sites like dafont.com and Photoshop express you can create a header in no time!

Third: Maybe you want to add a background? Some people can make white backgrounds look awesome with their minimilast theme, but others might want a bit of pop! This is incredibly easy.

Fourth: Last, but not least, a favorite post of readers is how to create a navigation bar. A navigation  bar really adds a lot to your blog, it makes your blog navigable (lol, obviously), but also it grabs a reader! Each of your pages should really highlight who you are as a blogger!

*People, if I have one bit of advice, that is to just fall in love with color palettes and fonts. These two things are so huge when pulling your blogs theme together! For color ideas see this website: http://www.colourlovers.com/ and for fonts here: www.dafonts.com. If you need help downloading fonts you can see my tutorial for that here.
*I am currently cleaning up my blog pages and getting ready for April (where there will be many more posts over here) so hopefully soon my tutorial page on the left will be more organized! I think I will copy Kam's level of organization she has on hers, here.
*If you leave a comment here with a question about any of these tutorials I will shoot you an email and try to help in any way. A common question I will get is that you are not usually Minima as your HTML platform.The only way I can fix this for you is if you let me install it! :) I have done this countless times for people and I'd love to help you out. 
*Lastly, if all this is just over the top for you and you hate HTML I'd be glad to work out some sort of package to fit your needs! <3
