New layout!

Yay! I finally made a new layout!  :yay: I wanted something brighter and more colorful, to make my mood better and make you happier while visiting :D So I spent my weekend designing and coding, instead of studying…  :angel:

I’ve been thinking about this design for a while, and it’s inspired by my wallpaper :giggle:  I got the wallpaper from Smashing Magazine, it’s the fourth wallpaper called “Spring is coming”. I think everything is done, but if you come over something that looks funky, please let me know :)

I haven’t listed all the credits yet though, I will do that really soon. I struggled finding icons for my online profiles, no one had sets including every icon I needed, so I ended up using four from a set and copying the design and making the rest myself.

The only thing bugging me about the layout (so far) is that I don’t have a border with rounded corner round the images. It’s no problem coding it, well it’s a bit of code, but it can be done. But I would have to go through all my previous posts and add divs to the images, not that I have that many posts right now, but if/when I don’t want rounded corners anymore it would be a whole lot of work going through all pages and posts removing the code. So I’ll just have to live with it…  :huh:

The thing I’m struggling with is the hover image for the navigation. For some reason it won’t show up when you hover the menu… :( When I coded my last layout I did it on my computer and tested it in the browser before I uploaded it to wordpress and I had no problems with it, but when added the code in wordpress the hover image just doesn’t show up… Does anyone know why? Or what I can do so fix it? :?:

I have never put so much work into a layout before, so much details, so I’m pretty happy with it :heart:

I LOVE the new layout!!! It’s Gorgeous!!!!
However, I did notice another “bug”…when you look at the comments, every other comment box isn’t showing up completely…..it might just be my computer, but it might be a bug (not sure cuz my internet is pretty choppy atm).
But, I LOOOOVVEEE the new layout. the rounded corners with flowers is MY favourite part


I just stumbled across your blog by following some links from other blogs I read. Cute layout. Simple and easy layout. How did you learn to design templates?

Take care,

I know this is really late, but I just saw this post and realized I have a solution to your rounded borders problem. You can go ahead and put the divs on all of your images right now. Then, when you no longer want rounded borders for your image, simple delete the CSS for that div in your stylesheet. If it’s blank, the browser will not read anything, I think. I say give it a try, especially if you really want these rounded borders. (:

This is an absolutely gorgeous layout! Very, very beautiful. It just may have inspired my next layout! Thank you.
