I know I always say bad things about my color choices when it comes to customizing a blog template. And I always say "all that ghastly pink!". Now, I'm going to shamefully eat my words. I redesigned The Designer Diva into this swanky, artsy blog. In Bright Pink. You got it! I am happy on how it turned out though.
It took me a whole week to find my logo picture. I paid $1.50 for it at BigStockPhoto. They had a million and one images that I could have run with. But you know me, I've got to sit on it and just keep on re-evaluating the choices until I was down to two. The picture that ended up on the logo is a close up of a portion of a bigger photo. I can't believe I figured out how to crop it in different shapes and put neat squiggles on the corners. The resolution of the picture is awesome and I can't believe I just got it for 2 bucks. So, go check it out. Let me know what you think. It's so very girly.
I am expecting my google revenue to drop because I have moved around my google ads and replaced them with affiliate ads. I am still trying to find the balance because they are both profitable at the same time. Expect to see some juggling of ads around in the next few days.
A cruise travel company has been in touch with me after passing by Cruise Headlines. They liked what I have done to the site and they want to know if I can set one up for their company. So cool. And so unreal. Because I am new to this blogging business myself. I just really started in June. I am still learning as I go. Just don't tell them I said that. They are booking an appointment for me to meet with the president of the company here in Vancouver. Research. Research. Research. What could they possibly want?
I keep on hitting one milestone after another with The Bikini Body Diet. I think I might have to contract out the template design for this one. I am not sure yet. Since the record breaking hits on this site, I am now bombarded with requests to advertise on the site. And the way the current template is, there is just no room for any more. I will be putting out a bid on codingforums. If anyone is interested in bidding for the project, please let me know. After the re-design of The Designer Diva, I just know if I designed it myself it's going to be all electric cool aid blue. Craziness.
