I tried to be productive and transfer my classroom blog over to my work email address so it's not directly linked to this blog which worked out well. I copied the HTML code and the new blog looks just like the old one, which I will probably delete. I love the idea of a classroom blog and I love writing Sneaker Teacher, yet I don't necessarily want the same audiences reading them....I want to keep my classroom blog strictly classroom related.

Then I got a little curious and started playing around with some blog elements and despite the clear warning that one should save their current template before making changes--I did not. Now I have this new template and I am not sure how I feel about it. I like the layout a lot and I think it seems a little more open and not so squished in, yet in changing the template, I got rid of all of the other design elements that I had added like the cute font in my post titles and the Comic Sans font for all of my posts etc. Ugh! I know I can redo those things, but it is pretty time consuming and I am just a tad annoyed over the whole thing. I kind of want a combo of the new and the old. Oh well. My bad.

I do like how there are some additional options on the commenting section. I really like the ones that allow you to link to twitter and facebook, but my design function let me "try it out" then it disappeared and I don't know how to install it. I guess I will need to buckle down for another day of designing sometime soon.

::sigh::

I enjoy figuring out how to do different things and following tutorials to add fun elements, but it's pretty addictive and time consuming and I am just not up to it today. I cut my finger pretty badly last night, so I am just taking it easy today.  I will post about the books I have been reading, but I felt the need to explain the blog changes that you will encounter today.

What do you think? Does it look better or worse?

It sure is time consuming but can be fun! I like it!

I think it looks better and I'm just amazed that you can even do this yourself! You go girl!

Don't be so hard on yourself it has a nice clean look and it loads faster for some reason on my computer.
