I also like to use that time to shift and see how I can improve--not only the functioning of my blog, but the content. It's kind of like Spring Cleaning. It's also probably a good thing that I'm technologically impaired, otherwise I'd be changing my blog all the time! <br /><br />I love what Missie does, btw. The seasonal changes in her header and wallpaper are a hoot.

I revamped it for the new year, and went with something cleaner and simpler and a little vintage looking. I'm hoping I can stick with this design for awhile!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to following you and discovering new books!<br /><br /><a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren @ Hughes Views</a>LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929745927447804460.post-28939186315228403512012-01-05T15:28:10.992-06:002012-01-05T15:28:10.992-06:00Welcome to the book blogging world!

I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time, because I know I have been and I've been here nearly a year.<br /><br />I started blogging for very similar reasons - I didn't have many friends who enjoyed reading books as much as I did, so it often felt futile talking to them about it. Now that I have this whole community of friends who I can talk about book stuff with, I'm glad I did it!<br /><br />I see you're reading New Girl soon - I'm currently reading it and I really like it! I can't wait to see what you think :)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929745927447804460.post-17978335754936455282012-01-04T13:15:50.601-06:002012-01-04T13:15:50.601-06:00When I was brand new I was changing my design ever...When I was brand new I was changing my design every other day! I just couldn't find something that fit me and the vision I had for my blog. I ended up scrapping the template completely and making my own header! Now that I'm comfortable with the blog representing me, the itch to change it often has subsided.<br /><br />I just use a star system (which I googled lol). I've debated coming up with a custom system, which I'd have to find a photo program to edit to fit my needs.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />I'm also participating in Small's event, and if you're interested in checking out my post, you can find it <a href="http://radiantshadows.blogspot.com/2012/01/busting-newbie-blues.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>!<br /><br />Kelly<br />Radiant ShadowsKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185081981237514590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929745927447804460.post-91554608033005960272012-01-04T11:10:34.704-06:002012-01-04T11:10:34.704-06:00Thank you!

I <i>agonized</i> over my blog design, but once I went "live" I haven't changed it. I second everything Juju has said--it's all excellent advice. <br /><br />What matters more to me about design is that it is clean and easy to navigate. I think you've accomplished both of those points.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929745927447804460.post-41776595468447708412012-01-04T08:14:41.048-06:002012-01-04T08:14:41.048-06:00I'm a new blogger and I also feel the need to ...I'm a new blogger and I also feel the need to change my look.

When I was a newbie (2 1/2 years ago) I changed my look allot.<br /><br />What I learned over the years is that change occasionally is good but people actually prefer a nice standard look. It's like an old favorite t-shirt. They know it and come to expect it and look forward to it.<br /><br />Misse The Unread Reader (http://www.theunreadreader.com/) does it best. She keeps her gal in the header the same but changes the backgrounds. It gives her followers a constant among the fun changes.Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.com
