Here's the before, to compare.
My social media icons started out from this layered template from The CoffeeShop Blog. I just turned off the banner layer and added a circle layer.
I made my own pinstripe pattern for the background using this tutorial.
My blog is made with a standard Blogger template for the base (I think it's the Picture Window one), and then I tweak the heck out of it to fit exactly what I'm looking for. I am not the best at coding, but I've found that you can find exactly what you need to do with a Google search. It's a lot of trial and error but you can edit your own templates if you have some time, patience, and a little Google-fu. :)
Totally true. :) My blog is up for a makeover relatively soon, but most of what I have on there is from Google-fu'ing. This looks fantastic, I especially love the picture windows!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Those were easy - the whole image is just a template I made in PSE. I just had to figure out how many pixels wide I wanted and how many pixels I wanted in between them, and then I added guides at the appropriate intervals to make it easy to make rectangle masks.
DeleteThis looks really great!! Stylish and minimal but still interesting....very nice :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love the photo banner.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! I have such a hard time making a white background template look good. You definitely do not have that problem. :-)
