Stayed up late last night adding the finishing touches to my new layout :)
The coding for blogger is slightly confusing me, and trying to include the widgets in code was a challenge, i haven't figured out how to add widgets to the bottom of the page... but I got the side bar stuff down
The theme was heavily based off another blog I saw, but mine is still completely original, I used all my own stock photos and coded mine with a larger side bar, main body, and more over all awesomeness.
I chose rough wood for the background because i like the down to earth feeling it gave, I added a vintage map for my love of travel, and an American flag for my love of my country, to the left you will find a few ancient coins that represents my love for history, and of course the jeep logo to the right because i love my jeep :D the main body was made to look chaotic, busy, and messy, much like my real desk (he-he...) so I added bits of scrap paper, lined paper, and package paper. In the center of the header you will see a small blank space, I couldn't decide what to put there, so I left it as is, I kind of like it because it allows you to see the wood underneath, but if i change my mind something can be easily added.
Another thing was that Blogger requires you to have either a logo/banner or title for for your blog, but I built my banner into the background so I didnt need a logo, banner, or title. Oops. I fixed this by uploading a transparent image for the banner, it's there, can you see it? lol
Maybe one day I'll put an EMT logo in the blank space, or an service Academy logo. Im not putting Pima's logo there though...
