As the title suggests, the past twenty-four hours have literally been filled with ‘design time’. I decided to get all creative and try to make my own blog logo. Do you like it? Drop me a comment at the bottom of this post and let me know. I wish I wasn’t so blinking particular, otherwise I might have spent less time with my head stuck in my Macbook fiddling with Photoshop. Oh the joys of being an arty geek and suffering with perfectionist OCD issues… Anyhow, less of the technical twaddle and back to the basics, that being the usual hum-drum …
As a fellow blogger I greatly enjoy reading other blogs, especially parenting blogs like my own.
