This morning I'm having technical difficulties with Blog. I am trying to update my list of blogs I read and Blogspot is NOT cooperating. It finally put the list at the top and absolutely refuses to have it on the side where I want it. So I deleted it and am going to rebuild it from scratch since Blogspot also limits the number of blogs I can list. I should go through all the blogs I follow and remove the non-NP ones and the ones that aren't updated often. I will do that as I have time.
Right now the only place Blogger will let me put the blog list besides the top of the page is the bottom of the page, so the bottom of the page is where it is. Sorry. I can't do anything about this currently but I'll keep trying to move it and I'll keep adding links there.
I also got a note from Marianne saying she can't read the header title clearly. I think this might be a function of her monitor as it is perfectly clear on mine. I've tinkered with it but the changes I've come up with don't look good, so for now Marianne will just have to know if she can't read the title, it's me. Sorry. I'll keep tinkering with this, too. I may change the photo to something plainer and hope that makes the title easier to read.
Blog changes take a lot of time and some research. And Heaven Help You if you have to move your blog! Ruth Schmuff has moved her blog recently, so update your bookmarks and blog lists to her new blog address.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/
You can also reach her blog by clicking on the link to it at either her shop website or at her designer website. (Ruth owns Bedecked and Beadazzled in the Baltimore suburbs and also designs and distributes painted canvases and counted thread patterns through Tis The Season.)

The reason I'm emphasizing Ruth's new address is you don't want to miss the updates she posts to her blog on her mystery classes. Above you see the finished model from her last class on Raymond Crawford's Merry Christmas panel. She's doing a Melissa Shirley heart currently. The things Ruth does to a canvas you wouldn't believe! So go visit the new blog address and see what she's up to.
Meanwhile I'll be here, tinkering....

Psst, Jane: If you want to change the color of your HEADER title (to complement your photo), just go into your blog's create mode, then hit CUSTOMIZE at the top, then go to the HEADER bar and hit EDIT. You can fiddle with the colors and fonts to your heart's content!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Spring Cleaning! LAURA
I can read the header fine, and good luck getting things back!
ReplyDeleteThank you for including Needlepoint Study Hall in your blog list.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Peggy. I will continue to add more blogs to the list as I remember them. It just takes time to rebuild.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you can read the header title just fine. I think Marianne's not being able to is due to her monitor but it is hard to be sure. And the blog list is slowly being rebuilt. I'll see if Blogger will let me move it where it belongs later this morning, so wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura. I know how to change colors, fonts and sizes but nothing looks any better than my original black letters so I will just leave it for now. Most people say they can read the title just fine, so maybe not being able to read it is a monitor issue.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the help. I will ask if I really get stuck on something!
Jane,
ReplyDelete(Just catching up on some blog reading.)
Thanks for the warning about moving blogs. I'm working on moving mine to Wordpress and my own domain, and I agree, it's a pain!
By the way, as you're rebuilding your blog list, I hope you don't find mine too far away from NP to count! :-)
