Mad Men Motivational Posters

My husband Morgan and friend Jayson are the brains behind the ManlyVintage blog (and soon to be shop). Jayson created some clever motivational posters inspired by AMC's greatest show Mad Men...though I am quite excited about the upcoming Walking Dead...a new series of zombie-filled madness! I can't wait! Go check out Manly Vintage. You will not be disappointed...

Snap Shot Feature

UPDATE: I had to take the snapshots off. it was annoying the bejeezus outta me...

I just added snapshot to my blog. If you're not familiar with Snap Shot, its a program that lets you see a link in a little window just by rolling over the link..its usually accompanied by a little thought balloon like so. I am curious as to if those little balloons and pop-ups are annoying..are they???

I got it so I could see all the blogs I love without having to click and go back all the time...I can just see new posts in the little window and if the post sounds interesting, I'll click to see that blog.

If anyone wants to comment and let me know, that would be super!

Blog Overhaul

I've been toying around with my blog and I hope I can finally stick with a layout/design Im happy with. I think I got it now. I 've been obsessed with Blogger Buster. Thats how I was able to create 3 columns, add my header Image - since the normal header hasn't been working for a while, make a label cloud...and I 'll probably go back to do more fun stuff. Editing html has been getting easier, now that I got back in the grove of things. If you want to gussie up your blog, that's the place to go!

Another fun thing I found was premade blog templates by Quirky Bird. There are 4 fun themes: *Bird on a Wire*PeepMe*Gnometastic*Funky Sock Monkey. They have easy directions on how to make it your blog theme...make sure you save your current template, otherwise you'll lose all your widgets.
