Hello everyone! I am back home, well rested and happy, missing of course the norwegian part of the family and summer, but well, what can one do! I wish holidays could last forever!! The trip was amazing, we travelled a lot in Norway and Denmark and it was so beautiful!! Let me say, for those that doesn’t know Denmark, there’s a reason why Andersen was born there, is fairy tale land!! And OMG so many shops that sell collectable goodies!! I feel in love with one specially: Det Gamle Apotek a place in Denmark with 47 rooms filled with beautiful stuff, specially the cellar: 10 rooms underground with christmas decoractions!! I swear, the page may not show it, but it’s crazy beautiful!!!

So well, first I will share with you guys a couple more pics, and these are all from Denmark!!

All the pics are from my wonderful boyfriend Ole Jørgen Bratland

Template Issues

I received a few hundred emails from my contact form while I was away and I am still trying to answer them all. I know several of you have had problems uploading some templates, specially the News from the Sky template. I have tried modificating it, but still it just works for some, and not for everyone, so I don’t understand. Either Blogger is having its own issues, or there’s something related to the browsers and the uploader, or the previous templates you have used and the new template. I say this because in a couple of ocassions I have logged into some people’s account by request and uploaded the theme myself and it worked! So I REALLY don’t understand. If any of you is a Blogger wiz, I’d love to have your assitance on this.

For now, I recommend everyone that is still not using it, to download Firefox 3, and stick to it as a browser, it is for sure 1000% more friendly than IE.

More favorites!!

Yes!! I made my Etsy favorites public, so take a look at the wonderful treasures I love!!!

Next Giveaway

Yes! I’ll be letting you know soon about a new giveaway. This time, to win a Birdie Says mug (example)!! You’d be able to pick your favorite from the ones that will take part on the giveaway. Suscribe to the blog (in the left column) to find out more about it!!

About Quotes

In other topic, for those that write me for custom designs, I am working right now on a cuple of designs so I won’t be available to start anything inmediately. However if you want to write anyway to ask for a quote keep in mind this: To give you a price I need to know what you need. I don’t have one unique price, this depends of the complexity of what you are looking for, and also variates if you provide or not the images (or if I have to illustrate for the design). You can read more about requesting a Design Quote here.

That’s all for now I think

Lots of love to all of you and thanks so much for reading!!!!

First, to all of you using Internet Explorer, you must know there’s better internet browsers out there! I strongly support and recommend you to use Firefox, for all those that don’t know it, aiming for a better looking world wide web!! And also want to invite you to be part of the Download Day 2008!! (click on the cutie fox to go and see what it is!!!).

In more news, about the Blogger errors, check this message by faa from Lips Don’t Lie in my last blog post:

hi,i had this error too while trying to change a new blog skin/template.
I think there’s error with the blogger service/server because i changed my blogskin to one of the Birdie’s recently.
So, just give it a few hours or so, and try it again. It worked for me.
Good Luck and Chao!

So you know, KEEP TRYING! Give it a little while and it may work

Hugs to all!! And hello back Annieeeee!!! Missed you this week!!

Hey guys! It has come to my attention -by the number of notes in the last couple of days- that something has changed I assume in the Blogger template layout, or coding, because several of the templates are showing errors when trying to be uploaded. And not the common issues that always existed, but new errors, like when Blogger directly shows an ERROR PAGE and tells you to let Blogger know about it with a code.

I am in no way a coder, so my knowledge is limited. I honestly try my best to share some Birdie with everyone. However, as soon as I have some free time I’ll try to review the different themes to see if I can update them. As soon as this happens, I’ll let you know!!! But keep an eye on the blog if you tried to update a theme, couldn’t and still want to try if possible!

Hugs to you all and thanks for understanding!

PS. I think at some point I’ll start looking for a partner for the template designs. Someone that knows more about coding so I can focuse better on making better-looking templates, with less errors! So if you know anyone interested to recommend let me know!
