Katie Phelps

Today, I am very proud of myself. As you can see, I have changed my theme on my blog. I have been thinking for a little bit that I wanted to change it to something that was a little bit cleaner. Something with a little less going on. So I looked around for a new theme and found one I liked (as seen on the left). I loved the way it looked and the way it was set up, but I don’t have a furniture blog so I wanted to change the picture. (although I do love that picture and wish that it were my living room)

So I set about changing the picture and wanted to use these stars that I had made one day when I was bored. I loved the orange and green of the original theme but was having a hard time matching the colors. So I thought, I like the pink and green, I’ll use that. After that, I knew I needed to change all the text colors to match my picture that I made, so I set off editing the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Normally, when I want something changed on my blog I just have my handsome handsome husband do it for me, but he has been slowly showing me bits and pieces of code, so I decided I was going to do it myself. So I set off sampling colors, finding and replacing them, and changing it all to what you see now. The page links on the picture did prove to be a little bit tricky, but I took the background off, changd the color and made the font regular and not bold. I even made it so when you hover over the link they underline instead of change the background color. ALL IN THE CODE! I even added a little picture to the address bar on your internet browser. (right next to where it says: www.katiephelps.com).

I think it turned out very nice. And I am just very proud of myself that I was able to figure it out, and change it all with minimal help (my handsome handsome husband is so patient with me when I constantly ask him questions.)

Wahoo!
