Other news

I am working on a few new Wordpress themes, that will soon be available to see with the rest of my portfolio. I don’t think I’ll be accepting more custom Wordpress request after this few because I am taking July off OH YEAH! Holidays finally So I don’t want to drag unfinished Wordpress themes to my holidays! Oh no!

*giggle*

Now, in a note aside, I want to do some promotion on a few artists that I love and you guys should check, and maybe get something from their shops, of course!!!

Anne-Julie. She needs no introduction, or promotion actually! The beautiful Annie does some amazingly cute stuff, that you can get in Etsy Shop.

Tascha. I am so loving her style!! I even bought my mum one of her prints in her Etsy Shop.

Lauren Minco. These are really funny prints!! Available at her Etsy shop.

Lots of love everyone, thanks for the kind words I always find on the blog and thanks for reading!!!

Birdie Says - Revamping it all!

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Yessss, finally a few seconds to dedicate to the blog and to my own things!! Today I finally picked a font at MyFonts.com to go with my Birdie Says and with my name. This is the first step on the whole redesigning I am planning for the site, the portfolio, the shop, and even the Birdie templates and merchandising!!

So well, after picking the font, I started updating a couple of my mugs, yes, they are my soft spot. And I really really want to know what you guys think of them!!! One of them was the Hanging there one, so I took the time and added a postcard and a mouse pad to go with it

Of course, I also edited many other mugs, so now at the cafepress collection page you can find some of these down here (please tell me what you think of the look of the set!!!):

New Wordpress Design: Pass the Sauce

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Hey everyone!! I wanted to take a bit of time to thank you for the wonderful words I get on the templates everyday. i know many of you would like some of them to be 2 or 3 columns, or wider or narrower, but well the ones available now are depending on the birdie images for the width, so expanding them would mean distorting them. So I have taken note, and next template will be 3 columns for 1024px minimun.

I want you also to know that I am working on a new design for my site!! Yes yes!!! It’s going really slow because I don’t have much free time at all, but expect to see changes appearing suddenly around here!! And expect Birdie to be a main character too!!

In blog news, I just finished a new Wordpress theme, for the wonderful Phoebe at www.passthesauce.net. Please tell me what you think!!! Phoebe picked her favorite colors, and well this is what came from it The wonderful chef image is from the beautiful bortonia at www.istockphoto.com

In template news, Birdie’s Good Life is updated (now the title centers properly on IE). I try -you all know- to answer as many questions as possible on my templates, but sometimes the lack of knowledge on coding from my side takes the best of me. Why why I wonder is so messy the Blogger template styling. Wordpress is so much better!!!! Please anyway, don’t stop rpeorting me the bugs you find, I’ll keep trying to fix up everything as much as I can I am still available for custom Blog comissions, but of course, nothing for tomorrow, heh, I am a bit overbusy!!! Have a bit too much work from my steady job pending!!

Closing this post now, some random Birdie goodies:
