Changed the Blog Template/Layout

1 comments

I found this template from Our Blogger Templates, which offers free XML templates for Blogger and all are customizable. I used the Brownium template and used a different header graphic that I got from Free Webpage Headers. I used Photoshop CS2 to add the blog title/description.

 

Love the current template/layout! It has a country-theme going on and since we’re moving to the countryside, it’s the perfect choice! I love the previous template, but the bright colors were starting to get to me. Hope you like the new look!

 

Here’s what the blog looked like before:

Today’s Irish Dance Video of the Week is an awesome practice video of 4-time World Champion Ciara Sexton from the Turley Academy Of Irish Dancing in the UK. She’s the one on the right with dark hair. She just flows in her steps. She’s my idol! :D

Check out more of my favorite irish dance videos below after my favorite reads.
