I've gotten smarter since I started a blog...seriously. Computer smarter. I knew nothing about the blogging world a year ago and have slowly taught myself little things. At first, just how to post/why to post/how to see other's posts. Then trying to change headers and mess with that crazy html stuff. I still don't get a lot of it, but I'm learning.
When my friend Heather suggested I make a button to spread the word I began my google research. It got me thinking...do I want to spread the word? How foodie do I really want to make this blog that I created more with the intention of being my newly-wed online journal? I hate it when I think too much, who cares? Of course I hope that occasionally something I post will be beneficial to someone out there, but I just have fun posting about what I'm up to and what I'm passionate about... that pretty much always involves food.
I really wish I'd started posting about food a lot earlier. I didn't even share anything from the holidays. the holidays! I was a complete maniac in my kitchen over the holidays, it was the best, but it was all secret. Now there's no secrets, I'm openly in love with food & cooking. I'm that girl who easily spent all the wedding Bed Bath and Beyond credit on random kitchen gadgets in a matter of days. I would rather window shop at Orson Gygi and Williams & Sonoma than the mall. Any day.
Anyways, I ended up finding this awesome tutorial about how to make a blog button, without it I seriously would never have figured it out. I tried a different tutorial before this and it all went terribly wrong. I decorated this image using paint, that should give you an idea of my computer smarts.
I'm so proud I want to share, and if you happen to feel the desire to adorn your page with my nifty little button...well, then I might just have to make you something chocolate (or healthy if you're on a diet..)and remind you of how cool you are.
Every time I get on your blog I think how successful you'd be at doing your own cooking show or something... seeing as you're so adorable and talented and all!! (P.S. your tutorial button doesn't work). :)
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable, I love it. As for Jill's comment, it works in Safari but not in Firefox. In Firefox it just shows up as a link. :( I opened Safari to see if it works in there and it does, so I don't know what's up. What do you use? Anyway, in Safari, it's adorable! I already have it adorning my blog! Where's my chocolate? :) Actually, I'm not much of a chocolate lover, and I'm DEFINITELY not on a diet (although I definitely should be) but those mini cheese stuffed fo...don't know how to spell it--bread things were DELICIOUS! Just FYI! :) Love ya!
ReplyDeleteKatie's button works just fine - it's the "tutorial" link button that won't work and yes it is adorable!!
ReplyDeletei meant the BUTTON doesn't work in Firefox. don't know why. and jill is right, the tutorial like doesn't work. :)
