I decided last week to revamp these pages. Partly because I wanted to widen my brief a little to more than cakes. Partly because the initial posts were “thrown up” just to get me started and I needed to go back, include photographs where I could and correct typographical errors. Partly because I had discovered a blog which I liked, which occasionally covered similar topics, which was using the same “theme” (standard formatting provided by blog sites) and I wanted to avoid any hint of plagiarism.
Anyway I started by trying to find an alternative theme but after trying out about 15 other ones I came to the conclusion that I like the layout, so thanks Chris Pearson, I like the Cutline theme. So no change there.
Then I sort of lost my way with the revamp and found myself spending the evenings reading the archives at the blog I mentioned [here]…I’m very good at procrastination, I’ve also managed to spend a week not writing Christmas cards.
Anyway I have started adding photographs. I have rewritten the “About”. I have edited typographical errors and I have been making it a bit more personal. The most obvious change is to the header picture. I would like to have a more food related header but as I’ve mentioned before I am not in the habit of taking pictures of food. In fact the only thing I have taken pictures of in the last 3-4 years is my boy which is why, for the time being there is a picture of his tongue. It is not I hasten to add a picture of his reaction to the pea ice cream as one of my friends suggested!
The other main change is that Toddler is referred to from now on as Spider. I can’t keep calling him Toddler as he’s heading towards 4 at a rapid pace. Spider is his choice incidentally, he insists at the moment that I call him [Name] Bear Baby Spider [Surname] and he calls me Mummy Spider…we are a unique variety according to Spider, having as we do only 2 legs
Baking? No, not done any of that despite the fact that we have finally been able to afford to go shopping. Husband seems to have taken over the cooking and Spider keeps bringing back cakes and biscuits he’s made with Grandma – I have been made redundant by the men in my house.
