New Wordpress Design: Pass the Sauce

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:

Gifts on my mailbox! / Question to template users!!

The wonderful Sooah from Rice&Pasta sent me this wonderful gifts via mail!! I am so happy!! I love love notepads, memopads, letter sets, and have a big collection of stationery sets here at home!! So she got me on a soft spot!! hihihi I made for her as a thank you a little custom header that you can see on her site

In other news, I am working on a couple new blog designs now One for a wonderful Donut Store, one for a new Cooking site (seems to be my main are hihihi) and a third one for a Travel blog I love designing themes for blogs, even when the poor owners have to stand my timing that lately is terrible, coz between my job at the university and my teaching I rarely have free time!!!

I really promess I’ll be uploading a new blogger template soon, maybe even a Wordpress theme, since lately I only design for wordpress… So I have a question for those that like to use my templates: Which one is your favorite? Because I want to convert at least one of them this weekend to Wordpress, so more people can use them (in my favorite blog platform)

Finally (coz I have to go back to work) let me say that my tea and coffee mugs are becoming really popular, and I am so happy about it!! Take a look at the top 2:

A little bit of news

tired.jpgWell, just a quick little post to let you know I am still alive! I am almost drowned tho between work and other situations, my mum and my uncle have gone by the operation room in these last days, I have finals to give and I am one week from finishing teaching in the Intro course of the Multimedia carreer here, so I am a bit overloaded, because to all that adds work to pay the bills heheh.

So sorry for the lack of update, new templates and links. Hopefully by the end of this week, I’ll have some free time!!!!

Lots of love to you all

Birdie Says Revamped

Today I took a little bit of my time and did a bit of revamping to my Birdie Says shop at cafepress.

Since the cafepress template system is a bit aged (all made out of tables) is a bit more messy and complicated than touching the css, or at least i have gotten the hang now of touching css templates and then it became a bit of a headache!!

So anyways, if you can, please pass by and let me know what you think!

I also revamped with the same style the www.BirdieSays.com shop

*hugs to all of you*
