First off, I have been dying to get a custom designed blog layout with all the goodies (banner, sidebars, font, signature and a custom button) for some time now...I'm just having a hard time choosing a designer that is affordable and that I really like. Do you ladies have any suggestions? I'm seriously considering going with Brea from "Utterly Chaotic Designs" because I really like her style and the price is super affordable. However, I'm still open to other ideas, so if you know of any good blog designers drop me a comment with a link to their site and I will definitely check it out.
Speaking of blog changes I am thinking of changing my blog name but am unsure if its a good idea since everyone already knows me as "A Day In The Life of A Navy Wife." I just want something more original and maybe not affiliated with the military at all...I like to blog about fashion, movies and my life experiences and I would like to broaden my horizons and get some new readers, and maybe changing things up a bit would help. What do you think?
I've decided that I'm going to start brainstorming tonight and narrow it down to my top 3 favorite blog names. This week sometime I will dedicate a post where you, my readers, can have the chance to vote and help me choose my new blog name! :) Exciting stuff right? Well lets hope I can get creative and find a new name that fits my personality and blog...Wish me Luck!!! ♥

I got my layout from Brea. She's super easy to work with, and she'll keep changing it until she gets it to be exactly the way I wanted it. She's a total sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI also got my layout from Brea and she was great!!
ReplyDeleteI got my blog design from Brea and she did a fabulous job on mine!
ReplyDeleteI changed my blog name not that long ago and am so glad that I did. I felt that my 'military' name sort of limited me in my writing. Even if I did still write about anything and everything.
ReplyDeleteI never had a military title- that's not the only aspect of my life. I fully support a change in title because you are so much more than "just a navy wife"! I think some people fall into the trap of friending every military blog and I know for me, I shy away from some of them if theyare too in my face, because I don't feel that overwhelming sense of "this is all I am".
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you come up with :)
I design them for free for my friends. If you go look at my blog you will see my design. No I'm not done with it. I want to add more things. But working full time and designing my friends blogs I can only do so much. Mine is simple and clean. But I do it for free for my friends cause I know php and other code and can do it. And don't want them paying for it.
ReplyDeleteFiguring out a blog name is always so tough! I just barely changed my name to what I have now and I am always still thinking... Anywho, I usually tweak my own blog layouts, so I am sorry I don't have very many good recommendations. Good luck finding someone who will do the trick for ya though. :)
ReplyDeleteJessa and Elizabeth- I feel like my title limits me. I mean being a "crafty boatswain's mates wife" does kind of limit me to only write about things navy related and craft related.
ReplyDeleteI want to change it, but I'm not sure to what yet. I don't have as many followers as Miss Brittney here so it wouldn't be too drastic if I did anyway! :)
I got my blog design from Brea and she did an amazing job! She's great to work with and does amazing layouts! When I first created my blog I thought about having a military title but then I thought what is one thing I have in my life that in constant? Oh, distance. I'm always away from someone I really love and care about so I figured pick a title off of that. If you choose something that reflects who you are then the blog becomes more personal. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI also tweak my own design layout, but as for the name change I say definitely go for it! People know you as this, but you can temporarily put up a little button or something that says "Formerly..." until people get used to your new name. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeletehey i just randomly came across your blog!! Im a new follower and loving the blog:) I love utterly chaotic s work i have actually been looking into using her for my makeover!
