Website Design – Green

A New Blog Template

3/365 days of blogging.

I made a nice blog template for a friend:

capture_jet

She’s a very dear friend of mine and I’ve known her for a long time now.  We met each other thru the internet when she and her husband were still in Singapore.  And when they first moved to California, I was living there, too, so we saw each other often.  And now that I’m in Maryland, we still get intouch with each other.

And speaking of websites, I also created the header for the template for our group website.

Blogger Template 6 – Vector Coffee

Vector Coffee Template

Vector Coffee Template

I know… I could’ve given this a better name. I didn’t really know what I was thinking when I was coming up with a name for it. But then again, the colors of this template should more than make up for the lackluster title (hopefully!) ;)

If you want to see how the real thing looks like, you can check it out here. And as usual, just select the text inside the box and copy and paste it into your own blogger template. And if you use it, just let me know and I’ll link to your page and send you some love, too :)

Btw, I have been thinking of creating some wordpress templates also. And might be able to make templates for sale or custom make one for you. So we’ll see what happens with that. but if you’re interested, just send me a line a atesienna at gmail dot com and we can talk about it :)

Blogger Template 3 – Psychedelic Party

I’ve been doing a lot of templates lately… I’m publishing them one by one and this is the first of the series.

You can view the live demo here.

Highlight the XML Code in the text box and copy and replace your current blogger code.

This I Know
I have finally found out what my passion is. I love baking cakes, cupcakes and cookies and decorating them. Working with my hands and creating wonderful goodies that people will love, seeing the smile on their faces, the amazement in their eyes - this is what makes me happy. So I claim to the universe, I will have my own successful baking business very soon. Successful enough to leave the rat race they call the corporate world and surround myself with the food that I love to create. - Gigi "Ate Sienna" Manaloto-Refugia
