Website Warbles

I've been doing a lot of wedding website research lately. I started out with The Knot, moved onto WedSpace, and ended up with My Wedding, which I still wasn't happy with. I don't need the creme de la creme when it comes to a website, but I like to customize. And make things colorful and personalized. And, I don't know, justify something to center if I really want to. None of these websites were giving me that option, and I was getting mad. Grr.

So then I thought, what if I recreate a Blogger (or WordPress) site to make it look like a normal website, and have that be my wedding website? GENIUS. I basically know how to edit and format Blogger to make it do something close to what I want, so I gave that a go. Then I kept hearing how fantabulous WordPress was, so I tried that, and failed.

Back to Blogger.

Here's a preview of what I have so far!

I seriously have to look up how to do a screen capture on a Mac every.single.time.

It's still a work in progress, but I have to say that I'm kind of loving it. Our colors will (should) run along this general theme:


So it's kind of all matchy-matchy, which I love.

I also decided that I want to expand on this blog a bit; maybe separate some of the wedding related posts by using the Pages widget, and eventually linking to a new, pure wedding-only blog. What do you think??


Note: I really did give a go at WordPress the other day, got extremely aggravated and confused, cursed it to hell, and then came back to Blogger. If you can help me figure out how to use it and understand what the G css is and how I go about using it, I just might bake you some of my world-famous snickerdoodles. Well, apartment-famous anyway.

This is so cute! We used project wedding as well and loved it because it has the RSVP/guest list option, which really helped me. Using blogger is a great idea though! And I too have to Google screenshot everytime I take it on a mac! Haha

This was our site: www.andrewloveslindsey.projectwedding.com
