Old Blog:::New Tricks

I am a self taught blogger::::as I wrote that, it sounded like a dreadful confession. Its definitely a love/hate relationship sometimes. I like doing things myself, teaching myself new things and challenging myself, even if it makes me want to pull my hair out. It may not be the most healthiest thing in the world, but I get by and I'm so proud of myself when I figure something out! Redesigning my blog and Facebook page as been a task and a half. Yes, I could pay someone to configure everything, but what fun would that be.

I want to share with you what I conquered today::::

First, my Facebook Page:::::

Look at my new and updated Menu Bar:::I'm obsessed. You can achieve this by searching for Facebook Apps that apply to you. I used Etsy Theme Shop App and Statigram Facebook app to load my Instagram feed. I ran into a problem when wanting to load my Blog. I have typically used Network Blogs to share my blog posts, but I'm not sure when things changed, but they charge you an average of $9.99/month to add a blog button to your Facebook Page! Yikes, Ummm.....not gonna happen. So,,,,the crazy Google search began::::I finally came upon Static HTML. This app allowed my to upload my blog posts for FREE!!!! 

Second, my Blog Addition::::: 

Somehow when I was in the midst of updating my blog, my Pinterest "Pin it" button disappeared. So annoying::::anyways, while trying to remember how I did it on the first place it seems that Pinterest reconfigured the "Pin It" button recently, so most codes do not properly work. I am sure there are new codes somewhere, so I leave it to you to find them if you need them! I came across a blog that I have followed for a while, Kevinamanda.com and it had the Best and Easiest tutorial of adding a Pinterest Mouseover Button to all our blog images (click here for tutorial). I am in LOVE!!!! Not only was it a flawless tutorial, but I am even more excited about the outcome:))) 

Look what it does::::: Hover your mouse over any of my images in any blog post and see what happens:))

Cool, right?!?!? 

Hope this helps other people who are crazy like me and what to do everything themselves!!!

If you have any questions about these links or how to do something, don't hesitate to ask:))
