A lot longer.
I have literally only just finished working on it. It's taken me almost two hours. Possibly even slightly more, just to get the title of my blog, the description and the rain picture together.
I didn't like the plain basic font and style that came with the blog, so I set about playing around with 'Word' and trying different fonts. I knew I wanted a cursive style of writing, I just wasn't sure which one. I knew I wanted a picture of the rain, to go with the background template of the blog. Again, I just wasn't sure which one.
I thought I could just save the picture of the rain in 'Paint' and add in the words. It wasn't that simple. I tried doing it in 'Word', but it wouldn't take. Then I remembered PowerPoint and I found my answer. I just had to paste the picture in there, then insert the text box, then copy the photo and save it to 'paint' to upload the image. This sounds simple enough. But it wasn't. Not for me. Not on a Monday morning.
I found about 5 pictures of the rain and after playing around with them for a few hours, changing the font, the colour - black, white, grey, - changing the title colour, then the paragraph colour. Do I want them the same? Different? Alternating? What size do I want? Small? Big? Bigger? So many options.
What seemed like a simple task, turned out to be a lengthy one. But now that it's complete, I feel quite rewarded and the result is what you see at the top of this web page. A new title and deign for 'Let Me Just Say...'.
It may not mean much to you, but it's a relief on my part to have it done and I feel quite pleased with myself for figuring it out.
If you could please excuse me, I'm off to go pat myself on the back...

Worth your effort! Looks great. off to see if you dislike cell phones as much as i do...
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of your blog...in fact, my blog is shamefully boring compared to yours! I have spent so much time messing with just what Blogger has to offer, I am not brave enough to venture further. I've never used power point in my life.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new blog. I'll be checking in (letting you steal some of my time)!
Oh, and about coffee...try not to get addicted It is not fun to come off of!!
Suzanne - Yes, I really do dislike cellphones. So nice to find someone who feels the same way! I thought it was just me...
ReplyDeleteHolly - Thankyou for your kind words. I only know how to use PowerPoint because of a previous office job I had. Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue. Granted, I only played around without because I had some spare time - at work, would you believe - otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered. And you be pleased to know I didn't get addicted to the coffee, though there was a week there I had it EVERY morning!
