Spring Cleaning when it isn’t even spring

I’ve been a little down in the dumps.

Before I knew it I found it hard to drag myself to my laptop to blog, my mind was foggy and I had nothing.

So as some have noticed I’ve taken a little blogging hiatus.

I’m taking the time to step back and really decide what I want this blog to do and what I need it to be about.

I’ve grown tired of trying too hard at far too many things, a trait of mine I have struggled over many years of my life to drop.

You see I need this blog to be about design and my journey to reaching my freelance status but I’m constantly dipping between personal and business but where I want to actually land is still much undernamed.

So blogging is going to be a little bit out of sorts while I work myself out and the content for this blog.

To kick things off I’m cleaning out my reader of far too many blogs, I’m getting way too inspired but five different categories of blogging, and not to mention I do actually want to drop by and say hi to the ones I’m loyal too (harder said than done when you’re hitting 100 new posts a day).

I’ll see you all again sometime soon but for those interested check out my lifestyle blog for fun and unstructured updates of my life and all those involved.

Making your blog POP : Colour Your Words

Well at least your selective text anyway.

This is a simple and great way to really make your blog stand out sutbley and I’m sure someone out there has gone:

How the heck did they make this go pink?!

Thankfully I am here to tell you.

First off here is the effect in action (try to select the text below):

With great power, comes great responsibility

Notice that it's green when you highlight it. Looks pretty boss right?

Well all you need to do is head to the Template menu item in Blogger’s back end and click Customise then click on the Advanced tab scroll all the way down to Add CSS.

Simply copy and paste the code below adding in your own colour options of course:

::-moz-selection
{
   background-color: #BACKGROUND COLOUR;
   color: #TEXT COLOUR;
}

::selection
{
   background-color: #BACKGROUND COLOUR;
   color: #TEXT COLOUR;
}

And it’s just that easy! Now run off my lurkers and colour your blog with this cool effect!

Smile Sunday : It's Baking Time

So last week was my partner's birthday and something that is commonly done at ones birthday is you provide them with cake baked from your heart or picked up from the local store for cheap.

Either option does the job.

This weekend my bestie, baby, and I armed ourselves up to bake a cake from the heart that also required some artist licence.

Ok so he doesn't look as grand as we hoped nor was I able to help out as much as I would have liked but we also discovered that you can in fact buy fondant from the local store it's just called white icing.

But really James was pleased and let's face it what 22 year old doesn't want a BMO cake?
