So there is a blank page in front of me and an almost blank mind inside...
I have been thinking of blogging for a long time, and looking at other wonderful blogs and wondering how on earth do people get these great templates, and how do they make their blogs look so good??? And all whilst bringing up dozens of very cute children, maintaining happy households and partners and creating amazing quilts for friends' babies and their couches, little things for their Etsy shops and holding down full time jobs. How do they do it? I shall find out. Well some of it at least. At least the good looking blog bit.
I have already brought up my cute children (Just The Four Boys), it is pretty easy maintaining a happy household when much of the time it is just me to be pandered to, and I do whip up the occasional quilt, and I don't work too hard...
I am not going to be overwhelmed by other great looking blogs - with time and effort and a pile of luck and advice from the nerdier ones this blog is going to be Just Fine.
Soon.
I shall start with making this look handsome and interesting.

Jas, blogs are meant to be personal, so don't worry about how "professional" yours does or doesn't look, I don't. I've changed my template a couple of times, and the colours etc. so I'm sure yours'll "evolve" too. One good way to encourage visitors is to set your posts to groups to automatically put your blog address in the signature line, same with your emails. Half the fun is reading others' comments! I'm adding you to my Google Reader list, see you around !!
Hooroo,
Christine

This is a pretty good start Jasmine, just remember to show us lots of your quilt pics too. I did mine with Yahoo, it has nicer pages I think, but then I only remember to post anything once in a blue moon. as a "famous" person once said, "I'LL BE BACK"
