Freebies: Ollie's Friends

I have made a whole pile of free backgrounds for you and I'm about to scedule them all to post each week. 

Here are the first two.

 

Note: Both of these backgrounds are made using the scrapbooking kit called Ollie and Friends from Adori Graphics. Thanks Louise :)

Tutorial: Parts of a Blog

This tutorial is too help with other tutorials I might do in the future. I will tell you what different parts of the code mean, and what parts they change.

Parts of a Blog

 

First we'll start with the OUTER-WRAPPER. The outer wrapper is the part that is behind your main-wrapper and your sidebar-wrapper. The outer-wrapper has to be wide enough to fit your main-wrapper and your sidebar-wrapper in, otherwise your blog might start to look a bit messed up :P

Next is the MAIN-WRAPPER. The main-wrapper is where your posts go.  Changing the width can let you fit in X-Large photos that aren't cut off, (which is helpful if you have a photography blog).

The SIDEBAR-WRAPPER is where your follower gadget , archive, labels, any blog buttons, about me and any other gadgets you have go there.

The HEADER WRAPPER is where your header/blog title goes. You can change the width, which changes how wide your header image is, aswell as put borders and pictures in.


The BODY is where backgrounds, like the ones on this blog go. The body is basically the background of your blog. It has no writing or sidebars in/on it (unless that's in your background image).


That's all for now :) Hope you find it helpful

MAJOR Revamp

You may have noticed, as you came to read this post, that I have totally revamped this blog and it's designs. It's still a woork in progress though.

I hope to have some of my first tutorials up soon, and to make at least 1 freebie every week.

I also changed the name to Recherché Designs after looking up good in an online thesaurus :) Like it? Should I change the URL? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks for reading!
