Work in Progress....

I have had a headache for a few days.  I actually think it's related to sinus stuff but suspiciously it started last weekend when I decided to work on my blog.  I first should state that I have a practice blog called "The Rustic Cupboard"; It's a test blog where I practice my not so savvy technical skills.  Anytime I want to make changes to the Old Cupboard Door, I try them first on "The Rustic Cupboard" that way I don't end up with a messed up main blog.  With that said, for some crazy reason I dived right into making changes to the "Old Cupboard Door" and ended up in a mess.  For anyone who visited my blog at that time you probably wondered what in the world was going on.  I spent a whole day and a half trying to fix my errors.  By the end of the first day, I had one big headache, literally!
In case you don't know, I love Pinterest and use it as one of my go to-s for information and research.  I recently created a board called "Let's Blog" and pinned quite a few items I wanted to look at later.  Later finally arrived and I spent a whole evening looking through those pins and reading ways I can improve my blog.  I've been implementing several of those how to-s.  A few of these sites mentioned that a black background is one of the hardest backgrounds for people to read.  Yikes, that's exactly what I had, I knew I needed to make some changes.  After several trial and error, color changes, font changes, header changes and more, I finally decided on the soft grey background with black font.  I do hope it's easy for everyone to read. In defence of black backgrounds, I have no problem reading them and they do show off a photo very well.

Oh, another biggie was replying to comments.  I don't know why I haven't set up the email reply earlier and my apologies to all those who leave lovely comments and haven't received a reply back.  It's all set up now. Also, I have removed my comment verification so it is easier for you to leave a comment. Honestly, I hate those things and didn't realize I hadn't unchecked it on my blog.

I've watched tutorials on how to install buttons...check...added those.  Also, a tut for adding a signature...check..done that!  How to center a post title...check. Little by little I am making changes that I hope you will enjoy and which will bring you back to visit often.

Now with the main work on my blog finished, I can start painting and sharing my finished items with you.

Share...Inspire...Create...Believe
