Still Revamping

I'm pretty much done with improving my blog, and I'm really loving it. I added my links already. They're really simple and blue! In addition, I've always wanted to have a signature for my posts, so I was lucky to find a CSS code that will automatically place my signature at the end of my every post. It saves me from uploading my signature as an image every time I write a new post. I wanted to add more details like a drop down navigation but some of the CSS codes are much too complicated for me. I managed to do it, but it messes the borders and stuff. Maybe next time, if I have more time in my hands. I'm still working on some of my pages, so for now, I'll leave you with the three quotes that hit me hard a few a weeks ago. I found them from twitter the day I was feeling all depressed about my health and other stuffs.

I've marked them already as favorites in my twitter account, and I have them in front of my monitor at work. Reading them helps keep me in sync with the things I do. I even managed to drop down a few pounds for the last two weeks (although not drastic, mostly water weight). I hope that they help you too in whichever situation you have right now. Pardon my writing though. For the past two years, I've been typing away with my keyboard, so I haven't practiced my handwriting. Plus, I've only been writing Hiragana and Kanji lately. Among the three quotes above, I cannot choose a most favorite, but the one from Gilbert really made me rethink my daily routines. How are you changing your bad habits, dear reader?

P.S. How cute is that Eiffel Tower note clip? They stand on their own, and I got them for P129.75 at SM Southmall Department store. They come in sets of three: blue, white, and red. Got get 'em!

A Little Blog Revamp

I didn't stay on schedule today and went past my bed time just so I can work a little on my blog design. I've been dying to take everything from scratch instead of downloading a template and uploading it. For my blog revamp, I want something plain and simple. I like things minimalist hence the white background. I also changed my text colors into black, teal(ish), and gray, which are three of my favorite colors. I also widened my post width, so my pictures will come out a little bigger and better. It's really nice that blogger has easier editing functions now.

I did have a few problems when I changed my layout. First, I noticed that I lost all my links to my "Blog Love" section. I don't know why and that made me a little frustrated because I don't remember all of the blogs I've listed before! I did make sure that I keep all my widgets before saving my new template, but I still lost the list. Now, I'm filling it with what I remember and the blogs that I usually visit everyday. In addition, I have problems fitting my images within the posts' width. At first, my images were in their original sizes and overlapped my right side bar. I thought that I needed to go through all of my posts again to re-size my images, but I remembered that I can use CSS to automatically fit them. I then looked for a CSS code and found a forum that discusses my problem, so I found the proper CSS to do the trick.

Right now, I don't have my other links (Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc.) yet because I'm working on the images using Photoshop. I'm quite excited actually because I found a font that fits to my liking. I'm actually deciding whether to center my banner or not. What do you guys think? I am also thinking of adding an Instagram widget soon.

I hope to finish my blog revamp sooner, so I can focus more on being a consistent blogger. Right now, I need to get to sleep as it almost 1am. Yikes!
