Awesome Bloggers

Hola my lovely Sparkly1s.  I hope you're having a fun weekend so far.  I've spent pretty much most of mine trying to jazz up my blog.  It's been fun & extremely frustrating at times.  I don't know what HTML stands for, let alone how I need to use it in my blog...  Or should I say, I didn't yesterday morning.

As I was editing my blog this beautiful double rainbow appeared in the field opposite.

I've added a sparkly new header, social media buttons, pages, a nice little photo of me even created a button!  I still wouldn't say I understand HTML but I'm starting to get it.

I've used lots of other blogs to help me out so I thought I'd share a few of the best ones with you in case you're just starting out or maybe you've had your blog a while & fancy sprucing things up a bit.

Code It Pretty
 

Marie is a freelance web developer so if you're feeling lazy she could do your blog design for you.  Her blog, however, is fantastic.  She has various, easy to understand tutorials on all kinds of subjects such as general blogging, SEO and HTML. 

Sew Many Ways

Karen has a lovely little blog with a feature called Blogging Tips.  She guides you step by step (with screenshots) through various aspects of blogging.  She also has loads of cool ideas on how to organise your stuff, has some wonderful sewing tutorials and you just have to go and take a peek at pictures of her sewing room.  I'd love to be set free in there for a few hours to discover all the hidden gems.

Pretend It's In Ink
 

This blog has a Techy Tuesday feature which is fantastic.  She taught me how to not have a title on my gadgets and how to add a pin it button to my pictures. The blog has a very clean, simplistic design that I really like.   

Do you know any other great blogs that can help people like me who are just starting out?  Give them a mention in the comments so we can all take a look at them.

What do you think of the new look?   

Hasta Luego Sparkly1s
