A few weeks ago, I realised how shabby my blog looked. And once I noticed it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Ever seen the
'How I Met Your Mother' episode about shattered illusions? When Ted tells Marshall that Lily
chews abnormally loudly and from then on it's all he can think about? (You can probably tell that I like slipping in
'How I Met Your Mother' references in anywhere I can.) That was me - until today.
Like I mentioned
yesterday, I spend all my internet time happily catching up with my
Bloglovin' feed. But the more wonderful blogs I discovered, the more I felt like my own blog was missing something. I put all my energies into creating good, readable content but I just needed a design that matched what I've been aiming for creatively.
Baggle Web Design was already on my radar from some great blogs I was following -
Milk Bubble Tea,
Dizzy Brunette, and
A Little Obsessed to name a few - so when I finally decided on a change, I knew exactly where to go. After filling out an initial questionnaire about my vision for the design, the lovely Abby got back to me with a first draft and we went from there.
I'm thrilled with the finished version. My beloved blog is looking feminine and pretty without being too fussy which is exactly what it needed. When running a blog, obviously content and consistency are the key factors for success. But you can't underestimate the importance of a good layout and a pretty theme. For me at least, a lovely design can inspire me to write and keep my blog looking as pretty as possible.
After all, I consider
LydiaLulu an extension of myself - it only makes sense to have a design which reflects that. There's also something really nice about having your own personalised blog design.
So I'd like to say a huge thank you to Abby at
Baggle Web Design for giving
LydiaLulu a new lease of life! I can't recommend her services enough if you're also feeling like your blog is in need of a makeover. I'm so excited to keep building more content and watch this space grow.
