Blog Make-Over: Part 1 Social Media Icons

For the longest time I haven't cared too much about the look of my blog. It wasn't until recently that I started thinking it was time for a makeover. Now that I'm blogging more regularly I felt it was time for something new. Now I am not one to pay someone to do something for me when I think I can do it myself, so I took to the web to find DIY ways to spruce up the look of my blog. When I'm finished, hopefully it will look cleaner and read better. This is also a challenge for myself to see if I can do it. If not it might be time to consult a professional.

First up Social Media icons. I was fairly confident that I could make my own icons, but decided to see what FREE options were out there before I spent time on making my own. I found Christina's I Gotta Create blog where she not only had free icons, but some tutorials as well. Thank you, Christina. I don't like to ask for help so the tutorials were a great resource and easy to follow.

When I was working I had to learn html coding on the fly for the websites I managed. I learned several tips that have helped in the blogging world, when posts have gotten out of whack. If you plan on adding these buttons to your blog, don't fret the coding, Christina's instructions are easy to follow.

If you are new to my blog, feel free to follow me on the following sites. I'll soon be adding a link to my Etsy Store that will be opening very soon. For those that have followed me for awhile I will open this shop if it's the last thing I do.

So, there you have it. The first part of my blog makeover. Stay tuned for more updates.
