Busy, busy day

Today has been a very busy day that started really early for me. But I have gotten quite a lot accomplished and that always feels good.

I still have a few things on my to do list for the weekend.

I have a question.

Where is everyone getting such fantastic, beautiful backgrounds and designs for your blogs? I'm not so swift on all this and I just chose from the blogspot templates and made a few minor changes.

Can anyone tell me where to go or how to spruce up and get a blog face lift?

Okay, I found a link on someones page and played when I should have been finishing up my day's chores.

Oh well, you gotta play some. Right?

Your blog looks great. I love the changes. My template is from final sense but I think I'm going to change it too because it's a bit dark. I want something lighter I think.
You did a great job!
Blessings,
Kim

Wow, I that looks so cool! I've wondered the same thing. I really like it.

This background is WAY COOL!! If I'd seen it, I probably would have snagged it. hahaha

Yes, we all must play from time to time. ((HUGS))

Oh that looks so great! I found one that I liked at that same site, tried the linkage, and it didn't work! WAAAHHHH! What magic trick do I have to do to make it work? Do I need to take my template off first, hold my tongue off to the side, rub my tummy counterclockwise, while whistling Strangers in the Night? Any advice would be most welcomed!

Donna,

I just followed their instructions and it worked. I had to manually change my template for shapes and location of blog items and fonts and colors in the customize section of blogger. It took me quite a while to get it to look good. I tried several different colors and such before I pleased with what I saw.

I can't get it to work. I tried again and again this afternoon. I get a plain background and an icky photobucket icon stuck right in the middle of the text. I've wanted a pretty wallpaper background for a while, but thought I would have to pay someone to make one for me. Shucks!
