It's Fall and I'm Still looking...


Forgive my feeble attempt at changing my background...I do Not like it! Bare with me while I figure out how to upload a nice paper...unzip it...and use it as a background. I have seen some really pretty ones but am ignorant when it comes to loading them as backgrounds. Going in search of a tutorial online. There's bound to be one out there somewhere. I'm tired of having other peoples banners in the upper left hand corner of my blog! I Did manage to Move the banner to the lower left...Way down the page...but it's still there! One of those things that irritates you...You KNOW it's there...Hahaaa
Hope all is wonderful in Your worlds today...It turned out to be pretty here, 75degrees already and sunny. Nice. Well, guess I'll get busy and put on my thinking cap. If you click on and the page looks strange...don't worry. It's just me testing stuff. Why do things Always have to be complicated? Happy day everyone!

The solid color looks nice. I used to know how to change the background using the html but I'd have to scout around to find directions now.

Happy Tuesday young lady!!

There is lots of help online , I laughed playing with a few the other day, wondering if anyone was reading me.It was a slideshow somewhat.LOL I like the dark background to give an extra push to photos.This color suits you well.

Donna said...

Happy day!!

Oh i so know how you feel. But I am the absolute worst trying to play around with this stuff. I always do it late at night and hope no one will see my blunders. Then again...it doesn't help when someone is up on the other side of the world already looking:))))
I like the picture at top:) It's a great opener:))))))

Sally said...

I don't have clue how to do that stuff. It's 75 here today also, and so pretty!!

Donna said...

Dawn, Hahahaa...I've tried to do it late at night and fall asleep in my soup!! Still playing with it though. Found some tutorials on YouTube...Have a great night!

SallyGirl, Hi Lady! How you feeling now? Britt? I don't get on FB too much so if you posted something, I haven't looked...
The weather is Great today...I've got the house open!

I don't know Donna, I rather like the fall feel in here. It's warm and inviting and say come on in, sit down and have a cup of coffee :)

I've been wanting to make my own background but don't remember how to go about playing with the html code and find it too much of a stress on my brain...lol

Donna said...

LOL, now you know why I have my own template testing blog! If you e-mail me the code for this background, I think I can tell you how to get rid of the banner. I haven't been able to spend 8-10 hours of time to devote to a tutorial on how to do a blog background. That's how long it would take me to do it, LOL! I am soooo slow when it comes to explaining things. And you have to have a subscription with either Flickr or Photobucket for the large file size.

I guess you succeeded.

BTW, it wasn't quite 75 degrees here today. No, not quite.

Caroline said...

Goods luck there Donna. No use asking me for any advice though. I'm a dumb dory when it comes to that stuff.LOL!!

Joan said...

You don't fool me for a minute..you are scouting out Christmas templates aren't you?

Jeanette said...

I like the solid color, too! Anything that you do would be better than what I can do 'cuz I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to blog design!!

Donna said...

Sure wish it was 75 degrees here!!! We hit the high 40's! Your blog looks terrific right now so I guess you must have figured it out!!

Jenny said...

I know how it is when you have a bee in your bonnet to change an element of your blog that requires more thought than one click! I've been known to sit half the night changing stuff until I get what I want! It can be an obsession.

Paula said...

*LOL* Love the picture, Donna! Don't try it, crazy chicken! haha

I feel intimidated every time I change anything on my blog- like one wrong press of a button and it will all be gone. *sigh*
Therefore I leave it like it is- stale. *LOL*

Debbie said...

I would be happy if I knew the size of my header and could get a photo in there!! I've really been playing...changing to a new blog.

We're having warm Fall weather here too. I'm truly enjoying it.

I love these colors!! Good luck hon :)

Vero said...

I like it. I think it looks good. You have to remember that you know what it looked like before.
