Tips for Better Blogging // Tip #3

Tips for Better Blogging // Tip #3
Probably one of my biggest pet-peeves with bloggers now-a-days is when their images do not match up to the width of the post text (unless, of course, the image is integrated into the copy of the post). Now, this is not to say that we have never done this in our early blogging days (*shudders*), but we have since mended our ways! ;) I have a feeling the main reason why this design no-no is so prominent in the blogosphere, could be because bloggers simply don't know how to make their images the same width as their text, which is why I am here to show you how :)

Hack! // Customizing the Break Link in Blogger

Break Link Tutorial
Due to the great responses I got in my last "Tips for Better Blogging" post, I decided to go ahead with the tutorial on customizing the break link. Now before we dive in, I want to let you all know that I am in NO WAY an expert in coding, and make mistakes and forget lots of rules and other techy things a lot of the time; so when you follow my coding tutorials, you are pretty much learning my imperfect way of implementing and manipulating code. Not so profesh, in other words :D

Tips For a Better Blog // Tip #1

Tips for Better Blogging / Tip #1
Hello all! Today I am going to start a new blog series (we're big on blog series here at BFS, I guess!) entitled: "Tips for a Better Blog". Over the past months and years of blogging and adventuring in graphic design, I have picked up some useful tips and methods that I think might be beneficial to share with you bloggers out there. I know I have been requested to do a post or two like this, so here I am at last! Yay :) Now, I must disclaim that I am no expert what so ever! I am not perfect, and I am still (definitely still!) learning about the wonderful world of the web. These tips that I hope to share with you over the next few weeks are simply methods and principles that we girls have found helpful, though they may not necessarily be beneficial to you on your blogging journey. Just keep that in mind as you read these posts, and leave me feedback on what you think of this series!
