Some of you may have noticed I changed the theme on my blog. What I like about the one I’m currently using is the option to add your own custom image. I’ve been using paintshop pro for several years and love making tags, stationery, etc that can used in email. So making a custom banner is right up my alley.
I’m pretty pleased with how the white tulip banner turned out. Looks pretty simple huh? You’d be surprised how long I spent making it. First formulating an idea, then finding images to work with, finding a quote to accent the image. Then finally putting it all together.
Now if I could only learn CSS….. that’s my next goal with this new wordpress blog.

It certainly is beautiful. You should have been a graphics artist.
CSS? Send me an email when you can and I’ll introduce you to a wonderful Firefox extension that will just make your day.
It is very beautiful and I’m sure it did take some time… I’m terrible at these things so I do admire what you are able to do. Hope your day is going well. Vallerie
I know how much work goes into making one of those banners, and it was well worth it! Lovely!
Hi Elaine, I hope you had a nice weekend. I was just admiring your banner, it’s simply beautiful. You are doing such a good job. Take good care and talk to you soon. luv, Pauline
Looks great.
Thank you for the nice compliments. Too bad I can’t make money off making these

Who knows, maybe you can. Finding a job that you like can be done, it just takes more time. Of course, sometimes you have to be very flexible and have an open mind to make the job work.
Thanks for sharing Elaine.
Hi Elaine,
Your place here looks fantastic. I’m one who didn’t realize it was more than just posting a jpg. My compliments to you for all it entails to put it together
Elaine you tulip banner is just beautiful, as is all the tags, headers, stationery, etc. that I have seen you make over the years, I have no doubt that you will conquer the CSS what ever that is. I know over the years you have taught me so much about how to work my computer, however I do not think I could ever even begin to do these web pages etc. like you make…..Thanks for sharing…….Mary-Anne
your banner is beautiful, your psp work always is, im still learning. I know how much time it takes to make something like that.
It’s beautiful Elaine!
Hi Elaine,
The new design looks great (thought I didn’t actually see the old one). Anyway, if you’d like to learn CSS, there are many great sites out there for that. One of my favorites to look at is CSS Zen Garden. It’s amazing how a simple site can be made to look so different, depending on what styles are controlling it.
