I figured out how to add a super cute font for my post titles and the date!! Woot Woot! I played around a bit on my "test blog" and once I was successful, I decided to be daring and change my real blog. I tried out two different fonts and decided that I liked this one better because the first was too thin and not bold enough to give the titles the true pizzazz they deserve. I was so intimidated by the tutorial yesterday, but I actually pulled it off.
Interested in giving it a try? Here is the tutorial I used.
Now that I have mastered super cute fonts, I really want to figure out how to make a cute collage-ish header that incorporates different elements from the everything-to-do-with-teaching scrapbook kit I downloaded from Aja Abney. I am thinking that I will need one of those fancy design programs and I know that some are free, but I haven't found one yet that works with a Mac. Any ideas? I don't want to buy one yet because I want to investigate a little bit and maybe just try my hand at it before I spend money. I just want to be able to play around with the design and make the header lots more fun and exciting.
This is so addicting! Check out the custom signature I made too!
I would also like to mention my excitement at now having 90 followers! That's only 10 lovely bloggies away from the big 1-0-0! Never in a gazillion years did I imagine when I started blogging that I would have that many people interested in what I have to say. It's funny, at this point I can't even remember what life was like before blogging! I enjoy it so much and live life with posting on my mind! I always look forward to sharing something about my day and different tidbits about teaching. I also really look forward to seeing what my bloggy buddies have been up to and I don't know what I would do without this great format for connecting with so many different, amazingy wonderful and fantabulous people.

I love following your blog. You and I are on a similar journey with 5 years of teaching/working on PhD. except I STARTED my first year of teaching in an international school :)
Try PhotoFiltre as a free program to do a lot of cool editing in. I use it to make my own iPhone icons. It is awesome.
Awesome job with the title and date - I love the font you chose!
I consider every single day how incredible it is that so many people want to read what I have to say too. Hooray for being so close to 100!
Great Job!!

Looks wonderful! Nice work! That is the same tutorial I used for my fonts!
Nice changes to your blog format!
With regards to your readers, don't sell yourself short. I bet you have way more than the 90 that follow you. I don't officially follow you, but I have you in my google reader. I bet I'm not the only one.
