My Blechy Blog

This is the print screen version of what my blog looks like today. I don't like it...not at all. (except for the window. "Hi, window!")

When I started blogging back in January, I chose this platform because it seemed to be the most user friendly. It really has been super easy to navigate, but I already know, after months of surfing through the blogosphere, that I want more.

I want to be a bigger part of what's going on out there. I want to meet new people, and maybe make some new friends. I want to inspire and be inspired...so cliche...but true just the same. Only problem is, I don't like my blog. It isn't a good representation of me or my business, so I don't share, and that's not what it's all about, right? I need to get over my fears of imperfection and HTML, and start making some dang changes!

Here are the things I am hoping to do in no specific order:

1) change my header
2) figure out how to make my photos larger, and the same width as my posts
3) change the layout of the date and title, and add a line underneath
4) change the comments line, remove the "posted by" line
5) maybe add a signature to the end of my posts
6) make the top bar a drop down
7) categorize my posts...maybe
8) make an "about me" page (maybe some other pages ???)
9) add some fun things to the left side bar
10) add a search bar
11) maybe add a footer

Wow! That was a much bigger list than I thought it was going to be.

I think that should tide me over for a while, and hopefully I'll be happy enough with the changes that I can finally come out of hiding. Don't say I didn't warn you. :-)
