spring cleaning

EDIT: this is not a blog obituary. 

I've been spring cleaning.  I hate cleaning.  And so, while I put off tackling my closet (it's a walk-in I can't walk in at the moment), I thought I'd bring up what I've been pondering for a few days.

The Kerry Blog has been around in some form since 2005 (or '04, I can't remember).  I started out on Blogger and grew frustrated with the limitations it had a couple of years ago, then I took the blog to WordPress, which I loved for many reasons.  But I found a few things that I wanted to do in the blog world that weren't supported on Wordpess (only being able to post YouTube or Google videos, no custom CSS, etc).  And as I began to read more blogs, I found many creative types using Typepad (Ali Edwards, Donna Downey, Heidi Swapp, etc) and made the switch once again. 

I feel at home on Typepad, but I haven't been completely satisfied (read: sassified) with the look of my blog since I made the switch from WordPress.  And so, tonight I started playing around and worked on a custom theme.  It's not finished yet, but I'm happy with the colors — pink and green, my faves — and next the banner is up for makeover.  I'm not sure what direction to take the banner.  You know I'm not content with it staying the same for long.  I like to change it out with the season.  And while it is kinda springy as-is, it doesn't fit in the new format size and I might as well start from scratch.  I'm going to be doing quite a bit of design work in the next couple of weeks anyway, so it's great practice! 

Thanks for being patient with me as I play in Photoshop to make the new banner.  

xxxooo,
Kerry
