To all my fellow bloggers.

This is pretty much a long losing battle for me and my desperate cry for your help. I absolutely love how pretty & unique all of your blogs are and I wish so very much that mine would be as visually enticing some day. I am asking kindly for your help on a few issues that I have been stuck on for too long now and I will list them below the picture. I would like to throw out there that I promise I am not a lazy blogger. I have done the research and tried to look every where for some type of help/procedure/how to/etc....but I have not been able to come across anything helpful other than paying someone to do it for me, which I am not yet comfortable with doing that at this time of my blog's life.

Please, if you can...be a lovely friend and pass some advice or tricks my way if you so happen to have some spare time or be a computer whiz. If you have anything that could help at all, please email me at michelelee26 at gmail dot com and there might be something in it for you...other than money. Truthfully, this is only because I don't believe friends and money mix well. I hope you understand. Thank you so much for stopping by and I appreciate you! :)



+First request: TABS/PAGES
  • How do I change the font or style of these?
  • If I would like to place them in a different area of my blog, how may I do this?
+Second request: TITLES
  • How am I able to change the font/style of the title and also allow for it to stay as a link? (What I did in the picture showing was, I erased my title and uploaded a picture instead. I know....super rookie.)
+Third request: Button
  • I feel that I don't have an e-x-t-r-e-m-e amount of followers/readers yet, but I would like to have a blog button available so I am capable of being more convenient for new and old friends. Is anyone out there kind enough to show me how to generate one?

Tabs/Pages

You can specify whether you want to put it in the space below your header or as a sidebar. If you go to the page that has the layout of all the Gadgets on your blog, you can most almost everything around.

As for changing the font, spacing, and size of text on your blog outside of what blogger allows...you need to get into the html. Different parts of your blog (header, body, etc.) have dfifferent areas in the html. OR sometimes, I just set text to a certain font, search the font specification in the html and then change it.

hi! i wish i could help you : (. unfortunantly, after spending countless hours trying to do design my blog myself to no avail i bit the bullet and had to pay for my blog design. arrgghhh. i know if you google how to make a blog button there are lots of sites that come up. have you tried sites like the cutest blog on the the block? they've got some helpful tutorials. also, there are lots of inexpensive blog designers on etsy that you could take a look at if you don't want to spend too much. i've had friends who have gone that route. hope this helps!

@Eloise - You are incredibly sweet! Thank you so much and I will definitely email you soon!

@Alyse - Thank you bunches for your input. I will try to look around the design tab and as for html...that just scares me! I appreciate it though. :)

@Anastasia - I have researched for forever, but I assume this is the kind of stuff that you really really really have to be into and understand html/graphics and such. You're so sweet. If I receive any helpful information, I'll definitely send it your way too!

@Alely - Your blog is B-E-A-U-tiful, so every penny was definitely worth it! I have researched, but the directions are another language for me...so it's not much help. I've also tried free blog layouts too, but I feel like there are so many other blogs that will have it as well...so I feel like a duplicate. I really appreciate your comment though! :)
