Recently Bonnie from Living With Thanksgiving contacted me about giving her blog a makeover. I shared different templates with Bonnie. We talked about colors, style, a new header and also getting rid of Blogspot and getting her own domain.
There are many benefits of owning your own domain name. I can write a post about it. As always I do recommend GoDaddy.I can point you to the first year for $1.18. After that, it is $10-12 a year. You do not lose anything on your blog. You don't have to tell people you changed names either.
LIVING WITH THANKSGIVING
Bonnie loves this pretty color and she also loves hydrangeas. Her gardens are lovely. if you don't know Bonnie, be sure to visit and say hello.
I also created a custom subscribe box, along with a signature.She has a search button built into the menu bar and social media buttons at the top.
Customized by me, also known as My Fairy Blog MotherIf you are interested in tweaking your blog, feel free to contact me.
I also want to thank the bloggers who commented about gallstones and surgery. I think more input from people who have had experiences this or know someone who has struggled through this, is extremely helpful. Thank you.

Linda @ Life and Linda
Hello, welcome to LifeandLinda. I am from Northern California. I enjoy blogging, Designing Blogs, Decorating, cooking, entertaining, gardening and clogging. I hope you enjoy your visit.
I've been thinking about changing out of Blogspot and having you redo my blog. Can you do a post sometime about the benefits of getting out of Blogspot? Thanks in advance. R/sharon
ReplyDeleteI sure can. There are great benefits and I can point you to buying your custom domain for only $1.18 for the first year. After that, it is $10-12 a year. With a custom domain comes the facility to use custom domain based email address. You can have an email address of your domain name like sugar@theothermeissane or sugar@rivercrestcottage.com. There are plenty more reasons to get a domain. You do not lose anything on your blog.
DeleteNicely done Linda, as always your professionalism, kindness and knowledge always come through!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better this evening.

Thank you Jemma. I so appreciate your caring ways. xo
DeleteIt looks gorgeous and really shows her interests.
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie. Yes, I try to give each blogger than own individual style.
Deletelinda it looks fantastic..I keep pondering also...
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to give your blog a makeover. You have so much talent Monique, whether it's painting, baking and your photography skills.
DeleteGreat job Linda; you are such a talented lady, who blesses so many with her gifts. I've missed a few posts so have to read back and see what's going on with gallstones. I haven't had surgery, but know many who have and then end up with the same issues they had that caused the surgery. With all your experience I know you'll research it and be wise. Sending love your way.

Thanks Noreen. Gallbladder problems seem to be quite prevalent. I am definitely researching and getting more opinions. Love to you.
DeleteI do like the blog make over Linda did for me. Linda's professionalism and skill was impressive. Thank you, Linda. Bonnie@living with thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie, I appreciate your business and I am so glad to give you an updated look.
DeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeletethis is a really wonderful Blog Makeover!
Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing weekend,
sending Love and hugs to you, Claudia xo
Interesting post. I've been thinking about doing this for awhile.
ReplyDeleteYou should really think about it. If not a blog makeover, maybe get your own domain for $1.18, instead of having a long drawn out name with blogspot.com
DeleteIt looks great Linda, and I love Bonnie's pretty picture!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thank you Jenna. I do love Bonnie's profile picture as well.
DeleteI Know Bonnie will be so happy with her blog makeover, Linda. You're so wonderful to work with, and ever so helpful.
ReplyDeleteI paid $12 through Blogger but I don't remember who I paid it to to get my .com.
ReplyDeleteProbably Godaddy. They used to offer Enom as well Valerie. Godaddy always have specials. if you go through them, you also get a domain email.
DeleteYou are definitely a Fairy Blogmother, Linda!!! If I ever get serious about this whole thing I will make sure to contact you. I remember when you did Ron's (Acorn) blog for him. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you Diana. I have done quite a few blog now. I love making blogs pretty and organized. xo
DeleteLinda, I think it's so nice of you to help your friends with their blog designs and such.
