8 February 2009 - Changes... again
There are definite advantages to being married to a computer geek (his choice of word, not mine). My dh was able to figure out what changes needed to be made where so that the background in my post area covered the whole space. Thanks, honey! You're a genius! Unfortunately, since he fixed it, I can't tell you how he did it (he showed me briefly, but I can't remember). I do know it had something to do with adjusting the width of the background in the table in a couple places. I'm sorry it's vague, but maybe it will help point someone in the right direction.
I have also been trying to learn how to use my new Photoshop Elements software. That's what I used to create the header graphic. Until yesterday, all I could figure out how to do was take a digital scrapbook "paper" and crop it and resize it to my header dimensions. Once it was the right size, I added a layer of text. That was it. Very simple, and just a trifle boring. This morning, I finally figured out how to add an overlay to my header project (yay!!!). Since the swirly overlay is black, I changed the font color in the header to black also - the brown color I used before got a little lost in the black swirls. I moved the text around a bit so it fit with the overlay and, voila! we have a very pretty, un-boring header!
Now since the header details are now black, I decided to change some of the font colors on the blog to black as well as the table background areas.
I darkened the taupe color of the date font and changed the border color in the post and sidebar areas to a cranberry color (to better match the deep red background color). All in all, I think I like this new look. I think that's all for now. Sounds like the coffee is done brewing - gotta go!
