Blog Makeover Reveal

Hello, bloggy friends! As you can see, Learning 4 Keeps has undergone MAJOR updates. Though it was not something I had planned (see the backstory here) I am rather pleased with the results. I can't believe the learning curve that I went through yesterday and I am thinking about blogging a new series that would explain how I redesigned my blog and the websites I used to get there! Would that be something you would be interested in?

Anyhoo, I went from this:

Which I still love...

To this!

Tada!!

The first was made from a free blog theme I found online and the next is one that I created from scratch! :) I am so excited with how it turned out. In fact, I got so excited about the things I had learned yesterday that I went ahead and redesigned my Mom's blog. I will reveal it soon! She had an adorable Melonheadz caricature made and the new blog design really showcases it! To say that designing blogs could easily become an obsession would be an understatement!

For my fellow Americans, I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July holiday tomorrow. Be sure to check back in on Friday to celebrate a Learning 4 Keeps milestone in a BIG way! Here is a little hint:

Bloggy Woes...

So, have you ever had one of these moments? (Warning: Movie reference here.)

You wake up, the sun is shining, the tank is clean... ahhh! The tank is clean!

(Kudos to the first person who guesses the movie!)

I got up this morning, pulled up my web homepage (which happens to be Learning 4 Keeps) and saw this beautiful sight:

My bee-u-tee-ful blog had been hijacked and looked terrible! (Curse you aqua scum!!!) - same movie  ;)

So, I have been working to change customizations and at least get it to a plain jane view to start over. sigh...... So, excuse the mess for a bit while I work to correct the problem and create a pleasant blog once again!
