Dressing Up Filipino 101, Missed Mommy Momments

Wondering why I am not so visible nowadays? Hmm, I am busy dressing-up my other blog, the e-filipino101. I neglected that site too much. Since the school year started, I noticed that the site is getting more visitors everyday. As a matter of fact, e-filipino101 has more daily visitors than this blog although I seldom have the time to update that blog. Maybe because many students were looking for resource materials for Filipino.

I think I owe that blog a more decent dress... (forgive me if you disagree hehehe). The template need more finishing touches but almost done.

Mommy Chris, please forgive dear, co'z I won't still be able to join the Mommy Momments :( as much as I want to. I have no picture of myself, my husband, nor my daughter that is appropriate with the theme. I will try my best to join the next week's theme.

For those who already grabbed my badge, my sincere thanks. I also hope that you will not remove my badge. I am planning to setup an exclusive page for the badges alone. I promise to grab your badges too once I setup this badge page. Just hold on please...

No Contentment ... Yay!

It was only recently when I changed my template. And now, I applied a new template. No contentment... huh? Actually, I really planned to change my template because the text of my posts were missing when you scroll the browser. But no plan to replace it immediately since I am busy with other things (RC, Paid Post hunting). I was visiting one of the mommy momments participants when I got fascinated with her template. I checked the maker and I accidentally browse this template. I find it clean and simply beautiful so I tried to apply it a couple hours ago just to test if it can be applied easily. And it is. Now, I am keeping this template (don't know until when hihihi). Isn't the template is clean and the posts are more readable? This template has a built-in read more function too. I hope you also like it and would make your visit more enjoyable.

See you around! Have a blessed weekend to all.

New Template Implemented

Greetings and may the grace and mercy of our Lord be upon us.

I have finally found the time to implement the template I customized for my other blog, My Daily Memory Verse. The truth is, I am excited to see the new look of this blog so I really "find time" to change the theme. Plus, I am also excited to know if the template I've customized will going to work.

Thank God it worked with no issue.

If you have time, you may want visit the blog and I will be very thankful to know your two-cent.


Note: Take note that I used customized because the I did not started the template from scratch. Check my previous post for the credits. I am giving the honor to whom it is due.

Blogging and Beyond

Ever since I started blogging, I am always in a template-hunt appropriate for my other blog site, My Daily Memory Verse where I share the bible verses I memorized and share some insights too. Unfortunately, I can't find one. So, as explorer as I am, I tried to customize the template I got for My Scrapie Bookie I got this template from SimpleWP. I only get the layout but dress it with different shade of color. I also combined some elements I downloaded from digi scrap sites such as Shabby Princess, Twin Moms Scrap, and Scraps of Ellay.

I've been doing (should I say experimenting?) this template-making project for few days now. And finally, I was able to finish the last touch a while ago. I named it "All about green" for obvious reason that everyting in the theme is a shade of green.

I am willing to share this template for free except for the banner. I will just create an alternative banner if ever there is someone who likes to use this template. Based on the policy of the sites where I get the elements, I cannot share the graphics in any form. I do not want to violate their rules since they already allowed me to use their works for free.

I will implement the new theme for My Daily Memory Verse as soon as I have the time. I took some screen shot to share with you.

Blogging does not only help me practice english language and writing skills (which I know I am not good :D) but it also allows me to learn new things.

Redesigning Potpourri Updates

I am not yet fully done redesigning my site but I will now settle for the template i've got from Gisele Jaquenod and Birdie . The theme is entitled Birdie's Secret Garden. This 3-column theme is neat and very clean to look at. I've tried different templates but this is the one that satisfies my own requirements.

Before I decided to use this template, I've tried other templates first. The first one I've tried was Aspire from http://www.eblogtemplates.com/. This template is nice with rustic effect. But I can't fix the problem with the links on the header. So I dropped this template and look for another one. I came across with Magic Paper. I also like these template because it has three column and it has a mystical effect. The template is working well in Firefox but not in IE (sniff sniff). I spent some time trying to fix the problem in IE but after several attempts, I finally gave up. There was a post regarding the error. Meaning, I am not the only one who encountered the error, unfortunately nobody gave a solution. I have no choice but to keep on looking. I almost settled with Wild Flower from http://freeskins.blogspot.com/. I had no problem setting up the template but after few glimpse of it, I find it too femine for me which is not me. So I continued looking for the appropriate template. Then finally, I landed in http://www.giselejaquenod.com.ar/ via google. The free templates offered in this site are really wonderful. I tried some of her works but I settled for this template. Silly me, I was hoping that she is also sharing her actual template because her site's theme is really great.

Anyways, while I was doing this assignment, I realized that there are several sites offering free templates for blogspot and wordpress. I would like to share the links of these sites to help those who are also planning redesign their blog site. Listed are some of the links I visited when I was looking for a template.

• http://www.giselejaquenod.com.ar/
• http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/

• http://www.bloggerblogtemplates.com/
• http://www.finalsense.com/services/blog_templates/

Probably, there are so many other sites offering free templates but these are the only sites I happened to visit and browse.

Redesigning Potpourri

Please bear with in the coming days. I am trying to find a template that would make my site more attractive and user-friendly. I am in the processing of trying and selecting. The template might be different everyday until I finally announced that I've selected the template that would satisfy me.

Suggestion will be highly appreciated but I don't have a budget for a non-free template and service.

See you around.
