Blog Design

I am ashamed to admit it, but I have just spent the last 8 hours customizing my blog. If I close my eyes, all I can see is HTML code.


(Note: Thanks to my computer whiz brother, Ben, for widening my columns for me!)


I have much more I want to do, but I MUST MAKE MYSELF STOP!!!!! : )

For WFMW, I thought I'd share some of the websites that were a great help to me today. Before I do, I want to add a disclaimer so I don't scare away my family members that are considering blogging. Some of you have asked if blogging is hard to do, and the answer is, "It is only as difficult as you want to make it." : ) Blogger has great templates that are easy to use and you will never even need to know what HTML code is if you don't want to.


But if you find yourself bored with your current template and want to customize it a bit. Here are the links I found:

This one is a wealth of resources and tricks! Tips for New Bloggers


And this one helped me make my navigation bar: Real Life



This one was a great resource for choosing my colors: HTML Color Codes


Have fun making your blog your own!


BUT I need to add one more warning. If you click on the links above, hours will disappear, and your kitchen will end up looking like mine!

I can't believe I'm sharing that with the world! : )

To my fellow WFMW bloggers- Welcome! Thank you for visiting. Let me know you were here and feel free to look around.

Why A New Blog?

I have been blogging for over a year now, so why did I feel the need for a new blog?

I began my other blog to keep friends and family updated as we tried to adopt from Liberia, West Africa. It was a perfect forum for bringing our loved ones along for the journey, and it allowed me to connect with some new, amazing friends in the adoption world.

Circumstances outside of our control, including two failed adoption attempts and now pregnancy, as well as other things, have forced us to put our adoption process on hold until God says, "Go."

Although the adoption blog has been such a blessing, I've noticed that I have been so focused on future events and the stress of our adoption process, I haven't been celebrating the countless blessings that our mine right now.

I'm excited to observe, process, and celebrate my everyday life. That's the meaning behind the title, Everyday Becky. Come on in, sit down on my couch, and let's talk.
