As you can see, I've done a little redesigning. Firstly, I now have a button you can grab and imbed on your own webpage if you'd like a fancy link to me--it's just below "About Me."
The whole blog redesign basically centered around that. I've been wanting to make a button for a while, but didn't know how and didn't have an image either. I finally started browsing royalty-free clip art and discovered that there were some alien images that came close to what I wanted. So I copied them and got busy editing and tweaking to my heart's content. I not only made the button but the fancy new header and a banner I can add to message board signatures (if they allow such things.)
I found this very detailed article on ehow telling me exactly how to add the code for the button and text box to my blog. It was far easier than I'd imagined and wasn't worth the worry I've given it during the months that I've been putting this off.
Then I decided that a lighter background might be easier on the eyes (I got a bit of feedback on that a while back), so I found a new one. I've also added nice, fancy links to NaNoWriMo and Critters, as you can see on the right.
I'm very happy with the new look, and am proud of myself for figuring out how to do it. However, I think I'll stop pretending I know how to write code and go back to my novel. Enjoy the new features!

Oooh, a button! Now I have to figure out where to put it. I think I might need to make a new tab for "things besides crafty & school" but I need a better title than that ;)
Looks good!
Thanks! How about "Other Awesome Blogs"? :)
