Finished for Friday: New Blog Layout

Lit and Laundry

Welcome to the first Finished for Friday for 2009! Today my show and tell consists of the new blog layout. Seemed like a simple idea at the time but I've learned that it can take a while to switch over. An entire day to be exact, and at least one thing still doesn't work right. Thank you to Cheri for kindly emailing me and letting me know when the comments section wasn't working.

I've also made a button for Finished for Friday. You can grab the code from the sidebar and paste it into your post or your blog to show you're playing along. Many thanks to zakka life for the tutorial on creating a button! I never could have figured this stuff out on my own.

So join in if you've kept up with a resolution, cleaned up your decorations, or gotten something done this week. Thanks for playing along! I'm working on a giveaway that I'm going to offer to future Finished for Friday participants, so stay tuned!

  3. oooo.. Pretty. I'll have to get used to it. Like when they change the aisles around in the grocery store.. you have to hunt for things and then discover all sorts of new stuff.. exciting!

  7. Love the layout! Very "spring"-y! The tulips are so beautiful as I watch the grapple fall out of the dark, grey sky outside my window!

    You are so right... it's very time consuming creating a new look for a blog!

  11. I finished up some projects back before Christmas but couldn't post them until now.

    I love the tulips, but I miss the gorgeous quilt you had up there before.
