I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front this week, but I have a good reason: I’ve been working on giving Dragonflight Dreams a makeover! If you’re following through a reader, click through to see the fresh new look. I kept a few elements from the old look (the textured paper at the top, the blue accent color, the swirls in the header), but I added some width and spacing for a more open feel. Overall, this will allow for wider images and a less cluttered appearance. And I also added in some purple and polka dots, because I love purple and polka dots. 😀
Mini view:
I like it! It’s different enough to feel fresh, but no so different that it doesn’t feel like me/my blog. I’ll probably still be tinkering with small details for a few days, but the majority of the new look is set.
What do you think? Have you ever given your blog a makeover?
Do you want a makeover for your self-hosted WordPress blog? I can help with that.
It looks beautiful, you did a great job! I love how clean and open it feels. And I adore the purple 🙂
Thank you!! 😀
Also, your print will be going out in the mail tomorrow.
Yay! So excited, I have a spot on my wall all reserved for it and everything, haha
WONDERFUL job, Amanda!!! It’s so pretty, and definitely you. I love that it’s very crisp, clean and yet warm and inviting!
Thank you, Angie! That’s what I was going for. 😀
It looks awesome!
Thanks!! 🙂
I love polka dots so you know I’m a fan! Love the texture of the top part too.
Thanks!! Polka dots 4eva.
I love how you mixed textures and prints! It looks great!
Thank you!! 🙂
Looks lovely! I’ve got a bad habit of always wanting to mess with something or change something on my blog, but it’s a great feeling to do it all yourself.
Thank you! I find I get the itch to re-design my sites about every two years, so this was due.
