Website Design – White

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 Templates, Part 1

I had been missing from the website design scene for a long time now and it was quite a struggle to come back and do Blogger templates. I scratched about a couple of designs since they all didn’t feel right. Since I’ve moved to WordPress, I haven’t really been aware of the many changes Blogger has done with they way they do templates and so I had to relearn those tricks. But like riding a bicycle, you don’t really forget everything alltogether.

I’m going back to what this website was originally supposed to offer – website designs.

This is the first one:

13 Months of Sunshine is also a fluid 2-column, white background template. It’s also Firefox and IE-friendly.

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
