PRIMP MY BLOG
While working on my blog’s redesign, it was a (lofty) goal of mine to do all of the design work myself. Considering I am a self-taught Photoshopper, have minimal HTML experience, and little to no CSS knowledge, this was a lot to take on. I found it really difficult to find the information I was looking for out there on the big, bad internet, and the information I did find was often too technical for me to understand or poorly translated to English. But I accomplished my goal, and I love my new blog, and in the true spirit of Her New Leaf, I learned a ton of new things in the process!
I’m excited to share my knowledge with you in a feature called Primp My Blog. I hope to present the information I find all over the internet in an easy and readable way so that someone who is brand new to blogging can utilize it. Please let me know what you hope to learn, and I will do my best to learn it myself, then share here!
If Primp My Blog has helped you improve your blog, consider adding a button to your sidebar or blog roll to share with your readers.

This is awesome, Kira. I’ve been struggling a bit lately with multiple aspects of my blog/blogging and these posts are super helpful, thank you!
How do you get your pictures round? Like your profile pic with the background around it?
I love your blog and all the design tips. Thanks so much for sharing! I’m trying to add your button but without a grab box I am lost. Can you help? Clearly I am super new at all of this.

Wow! I couldn’t have discovered your wonderful site at a better time. I am just starting out in the Photography business and am still creating my website and blog. Your tips are going to save me so much time and effort. Thanks!
Hi, Kira
I was on your site a couple of weeks ago and haven’t commented yet. So I decided to take the time out too today. I love all of your wonderful tips and continue to browse them. Kid in a candy store, I ams. Thanks for writing great content. My blog is the little engine that could but I think I’ve come a long way in 2 years (actually 5 but officially 2). Stop by and check it out if you would http://www.creativetizzy.blogspot.com : ) Thanks again, Christina
Oh Kira, this post is more then helpfull. I reckon I will come back to this one every now and then to pick up this or that. I discovered your blog via a winding clicking road. I’m reader of the omiyage blog. This one linked the 56 ways to decorate with washi tape and there I found you. And now… I’m really glad. Your blog is so inspiring and I love the design!
Have a nice day

I love love love you! My savior! I just started my blog and was looking for some guidance. You told me everything I needed to know! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your insight and tips for editting blog code and adding all these cute buttons!! I am currently in the process of redesigning my blog and your tips and tools are so helpful!! I posted your button to my blog and hope that eventually (once I get all the renaming and redesigning figured out) it makes you proud to have your button on my site!
Thanks again!

Hi Kira, I’m so glad I found this great resource! I love the look of your site, so pretty! I was wondering if you might do a tutorial or two for Primp My Blog that shows how you made your header. I read somewhere you said that is actual watercolor? I would love to learn how to do something similar? Also, how do you make your little circular badge/hello icon? Thanks again for the great information. Can’t wait to see more from you!

Hello Kira! Awesome information, tons of gratitude…
I am in the early stages of creating my website. I’m considering using vlogs with my weekly news letter. I love the video http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/video/kids/131155/Craft-Center-Craft-Room-Idea?featureId=143284
Any suggestions on how I would create this? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! Marni
