New Look..ALMOST

NEW LOOK...ALMOST

Would you just look at this MESS???  I got as far as changing the "middle" of my new blog design but I obviously did something wrong and can't get the sidebars to "stick" or stay or whatever you call it.  The sidebars are supposed to be a nice bright red and they actually show up for TWO SECONDS when you first sign on!  

I feel like I did when I cut my own bangs back in 6th grade 
and then had to go to school the next day looking like Helen Keller cut my hair....no disrespect to Helen Keller cuz she's one of my Heroes but let's face it; she would have had trouble cutting a straight line...right?...
and then again...
maybe not??

All the computer directions tell me how EASY PEASY they are but I'm here to tell you from someone who doesn't have a degree in computer science the INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT EASY PEASY if you don't know what you're doing!!!!!
I look at the wonderful Madame Samm's blog designs from the blogs, Sew We Quilt at Stash Manicure and Sew I Quilt...


I look at her expertise in creating new looks for other bloggers and it all looks so wonderful...and EASY??????

My own daughter changes her blog with the seasons or even her moods.  
BUT NOT ME!!!  
I have to be stuck with the same boring design and no hope of changing my "look" without an APB being sent out to friends & family.

Why do I have to be so inept at this stuff? I want to be able to change my own blog without having to inconvenience a 3rd world country in order to do it!

I've printed out the instructions so I can have the actual picture in front of me while I click & drag! 
Yes, those "instructions" MUST from
be from
the DEAD SEA SCROLLS
Other than placing an emergency call to the Geek Squad I don't know what I can do? Is there hope for me?  Any suggestions out there from my blogging friends with beautiful blog designs?  I'm having a severe case of BLOG ENVY!!!

So I'm going to leave this blog alone, calling it a night and go upstairs to my sewing cave for some major QUILT THERAPY

from Eat Cake Graphics
 GREAT IDEA!  I do believe there is one more piece of Fresh Apple cake in the kitchen before I retreat to my cave

Blessings

  1. Jane I'm no help at all since I didn't do my own - it's a Madame Samm creation and I know I am so lucky that she did it for me! I am just like you, computer illiterate most of the time. I know and understand some software but Blogger defeats me. But I do believe that if you keep at something long enough you sometimes stumble over the answer. :) blessings, marlene

  2. I just changed my blog, and it was not all that easy, so don't feel bad! I just had to keep going back and trying to figure out what I had done wrong! Hang in there!
