We Gave Ourselves Another Facelift

It's facelift time again. I bore easily and my theme was feeling a little dated. I also wanted a cleaner look. There is still way too much stuff in the sidebar but I don't know what to cull.  It will forever be a work in progress. Feel free to tell me what you think. I can take it!

    I like the welcoming color and it looks neat and easy to navigate. I still have the same theme from years ago. Too chicken to change it. LOL

      It was surprisingly easy. I just had to change a few colors on the template to match my previous reviews and change some font settings. There was no way I was going to go back and tweak every past post. Ugh!

    I like the new look. Some people spring clean their houses; you spring clean your blog. :) Yours is a much funner activity!

      lol, I think you're right. It's a much more pleasant experience to fiddle with my blog than it is to clean my house!

    I don't think there's too much in the sidebar; I've seen some sidebars that just seem to go on forever. And the design looks nice! To be honest I don't remember what the old one looked like since I have bad memory lol, but this one definitely looks neat and clean with colors that are pleasing to the eyes :-)

      Thanks, Kristen. My memory is horrid. So bad that when I was tweaking the theme yesterday I had to keep going back to my open window with my old theme up so I could color match and not forget things.

    I like the set up. There isn't too much on the sidebar. Everything over there fits and looks clean and smooth. Haha - that comic.

    Looks great but I have to admit I thought I had the wrong blog for a second.

      No worries, I did the same thing when I pulled it up on my phone! It looked so foreign.

    I feel the same way when I was starting out. But since moving to Word Press, I find it hard to switch blog formats. Blogspot is easier to navigate, to be honest.

      I use Wordpress for a shared blog and I find it takes me ages to compose a post. It could quite possibly be my ineptitude but I do prefer blogspot.

    Love that cartoon!

    My sidebars have a ton of stuff in them but I don't seem to find the time to sort it out! You won't get complaints from me however you sort things as I focus more on the blog post content than anything else so it's all good IMHO! The grey text is fine on my eyes too.

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
