Alma Mater's New Layout By: Siobhan

Alma Mater's New Look

I've been wanting to update our blog's layout for a long time now, but I finally got around to it a few weeks ago, and we really enjoy it. It displays the pictures much better and also is a bit more personalized to our family and our school.

I did NOT take any elements away from the blog; I simply rearranged them. I wanted to do a quick post for you on how to navigate your way around our new layout...

Note: Sorry these pictures are so blurry! I had to take screenshots on our desktop.

At the top of the blog I added a blog banner. The pictures are from the beginning of last year's school year, but I'm going to update them when we take our back to school pictures. 

 I shifted our pictures/slideshows from the left of the blog to the right.

 The right sidebar has a LABELS widget, which has links to the different pages of our blog which have specific types of posts, like our baking posts, our fieldtrip posts, etc.
Also, if you see any text that is red like this then it means it is a link. It will bring you to another page on the blog or a website we are referencing.

 I also moved the blog archive up nearer to the top, so you can see all of the blog posts organized by year and month.

 A VERY important button is the Older Posts button. Blogger will not let me display more than a few posts on the main page, so you can click this button to see the posts that don't fit on the main screen.

As I mentioned before, we still have all of our old pictures. This is the very first picture we uploaded!

I hope you enjoy the new layout. Stay tuned for some more updates when I take our back to school pictures...
