What Happened to My Layout

I didn't mean to change the look of my blog. What happened was that I impulsively decided to switch from the old blogger template to the new "Layout" which promised more flexibility. When I did this, I suddenly found myself back to scratch with a standard blogger template. Then I couldn't find the old picture I had used for my header... so I was scrambling to get something up there temporarily in its place. Anyway, I landed on the roses and the purple. Then I decided I LIKED it. It is so soothing. Sometimes I surf over to my blog just to sit there and look at it for a moment when I'm stressed, and it calms me right down. So I'm leaving it there for now. I think I really ought to take up quilting, or scrapbooking or something.

The new layout mode does have more flexibility ... there are sidebar widgets like wordpress has that you can easily rearrange, and there is a feature which allows you to change colors and fonts of your text easily.... it even has a palette for the color choices based on the color scheme of your blog. So this weekend I switched over a couple of my other blogs, to the new format, though the lavendar and roses is still my favorite so far.

Thanks to my daughter I found there is a way to restore the old template or look at the html, so I can bring back up my old Bridalveils Fall picture if I want to. But for now, I'm leaving it the way it is.
