How to change a look - a step by step guide

Well, after much consideration and thunking....well, okay it really was just by she/her/me that had be doing the consideration that thunking part...that I had decided that it be best to start this message on a pleasant tone.

So this is were I thunk I am going to try to figure out a way how to put on the 'Thought of the Day' and 'The Photo of the Day' titled tabs (which are located just above you right now onto this main Blogger page... are you confused yet..cause I sure am?

I know...what on earth is she/her/me going to do now?

And....guess what...not only does she/her/me not know what she/her/me is talking and mumbling about, and not only does she/her/me know what to do with it once she/her/me gets ahold of it,  but to that inevitably thingy that she/her/me starts to figure that possibly (and this is where the insert of the 'yeah...she/her/me know anything?') she/her/me has no idea if it can even be done!

Now, how does that sound....I know...so typical of she/her/me that you are already use to the silliness that goes on behind the scenes....and yes, she/her/me does work, well kinda...who wants to work in a Faerie Nursery? Now, come on...you do know that even you wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to get anything done.

Now, as you far as you can see, you'd think that I am full of poop, well let's not go there shall we.

Well this next project has taken she/her/me over 3 months to finish and yes, has she/her/me done that to give you even just a smidgen of hope ...to being ever so closely to be completed.

And, now you will ask....and?? and?? and??

No, I am not ready to unveil it right now and this is why she/her/me going to try to figure out (you know that I really meant that our guru will try to figure it out,,,and this where you plunk in the 'and remember this is where she/her/me...was the one who put the Mac OSx hard drive into the trash bin as she/her/me really didn't the ugly look of the icon....so she/he/me gives a massive thank you to her my son and the Apple smart guys) how to keep you entertained all the while she/her/me is really doing something that she/her/mer just might be doing that something productive behind this web page.

Now...let's see if I make a complete mess of this prior to call my guru...who will of course not only get frustrated but will try to give she/her/me instructions on who to do it...and then realizes that as in previous cases there is no point with this step.

Erosion can only bring the old to new light

As there are always things that are evolving here at the nursery...perhaps not actually evolving...more like...I love change. Well, that should be rephrased....I love change on my terms. Example...when growing up, I was the one that would change the bedroom around at least once a week. Why you ask? Because I could! This habit in a way has never left me. I love to change and move furniture, decor and well pretty much all of a room to this day. And, isn't it strange that both of my children, particularly my son, do the same?

So to continue on with the original thought...change here in the nursery of course due to space, table, shelving and well everything has really limited and stymied this habit...which isn't a good thing! so instead I have taken this 'need' and funnelled it to my on-line presence instead.

I'm  not sure if some of the last month or two changes here on the blog you will have noticed but this last week in particular has seen some dramatic updates. Of course, the phone call has been put through to Shawn, the nursery's website guru, to just tweak the background, okay, I will admit it...this whole coding part of which I have no clue on how to do....and okay, I will admit it....I'm kinda not allowed to touch as I am the type to do big oooop's that take a few more that just a couple of minutes to fix! Example...just like with everything else to do with the nursery...I do not care for disorder...that even goes towards my iMac's desktop! And ummm.....well, I had decided that there was this really UGLY icon on my desktop that for some reason I was unable to change...so off it went into the trash. So ummm...yeah, that was my hard drive, my operating system, ummm the umph of the computer! And well, this wee little icon movement caused a few phone calls to Apple Helpline and more than a few calls from my son to try to retrieve it. Hence....I am not/do not add or delete any icons from my desktop without permission from my son and ummm....I really doubt it if with this knowledge in hand, would Shawn appreciate me getting behind the scenes into this whole coding changes/updates that he has worked so hard to put into place.

There are still a few small and some quite dramatic changes/updates that will be happening over the next few weeks. I'm hoping that they will improve the look and feel without losing, hampering or compromising the actual look of this blog so it doesn't lose the coherence and flow from one site to another.

The Disappearing Tan Lines

Sigh....well with every holiday to the land of sunshine eventually the tan starts to fade away but thankfully the memories are and will be still fresh in your mind.

I had a wonderful time on the sunshine coast and was able to take some pretty fabulous photos that I posted through Instagram, well I thought that they were pretty fabulous photos!

As promised, I will start back this week with the 'Thought of the Day' postings.

And, as promised, I will go back and create a new tab for the 'Photo of the ??'. I have no clue exactly what to call this new idea.

I do notice though that unless I post something through this regular front blog page that no one really knows when I update the other tabs. I find this very frustrating and I am quite disappointed in this part of the Blogger program. I am still trying to research how to either get around this dilemma or how to let you, the reader know that I am posting. If anyone out there knows how to do this...please, please, please either comment on this post or send me an email. Any help at this stage is much appreciated.

I also apologize for the lateness of the posting as I had hoped to do it as soon as we had arrived home, okay, well after I unpacked from a three week vacation, well after I had a nap that lasted almost 24 hours, and well after I finally made it the grocery store to get some food the house!

As well, there are so many things that I need to get accomplished kind of ASAP.

• I am trying to make sure that the website has all of the correct links to each faerie that is available for sale. 
• I need to post all 13 members of the Northern Line of Faeries. 
• I would really like to figure out how to zoom when I am using the Instagram program on my iPhone. 
• I have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that I need to start the new Line of Faeries. 
• I need to clean up the nursery after putting every general box and bag that landed on my worktable that had anything to do with the nursery.
• I took over 200 photos on my camera that I need to upload and figure out what I want to share.
• I was able to purchase another wee cabinet that currently holds all of Sapphire the Pixie's Faerie Dust jars. Now I need to know what to store in the new one and then to remember to give Sapphire the key!!
• I have a new butterfly diary that I would like to start using in the nursery...but again, what do I put in it...and no, this one doesn't have a key that I need to give to Sapphire.
• Photos, photos, photos. I took all new shots of the Northern Line of Faeries and I will need to see if that will be perfect to put on the website or not.
• I received a phone call from late July for one of our most favourites' visitors to the nursery and I just haven't either felt well enough or silly enough to not be ready for them to drop in.
• Speaking of those 'faerie minded' visitors, I received through an email a beautiful photo that I need to print off in colour and hang. It is always a humbling feeling when someone thinks of you.
• I guess I could go on and on and on...but I just realized that instead of writing all of this down here, that I guess that there were a few things that I could actually be doing to cross off of on my list...sigh...
• Ummm...anyone care to come for a visit to help me out?

Oh, and I have asked our website guru to see if it would be possible to change out the font that I am currently using on Blogger as if I can't read it, I really don't know how you can??
