NEW LAYOUT + comments disappeared! + a service?!

Hello, beautiful! 

What do you think of the new layout? I've already gotten feedback that you guys love it, but if you can think of a way for me to improve it, I'd love to know (for version 3.0, I guess? Or 4.0? I don't know how many updates I've done to the layout whoooops)! 

Do the colours look washed out in this screencap, or is it my laptop...?

This was the old layout! While I liked it, I never really loved it, so I'm super glad that I've revamped it completely. Thank you so much to Girl Does Geek and Allena Mistral Blog for their tutorials! I'd never have been able to achieve this new look without them. :D

Blog Design Inspiration 

Gala Darling

I love the pink look to her blog and the search bar right at the top!

Wengie

I loved the floral print and the social media links sitting right on her header! 

I also have to thank Camille because she announced that she was revamping her layout! This girl always works hard to change things up because she's not satisfied with how things look, and I thought to myself "Well, what about me?!" I always tell myself I love design, graphic and web, but when I looked at my blog design, it just didn't pop for me. Now I mostly love it. Thanks, Cam!

Comments Disappeared

Okay, you may have noticed that IntenseDebate and all the old comments have disappeared as Lara mentioned to me. Well... Somehow when I transferred my new layout from my test blog all the comments from InstenseDebate disappeared! I tried reinstalling IntenseDebate onto the blog, but that didn't bring back the comments. 

Not to fret though! I have a backup of ALL the IntenseDebate comments on my laptop (or was it Dropbox?) as well as in my email, and I've emailed IntenseDebate about the problem. When I get a reply, I'll sort it out! If not... well, maybe I'll switch to Disqus? Or keep the Blogger comments (boooo!)

For now, comments are moderated because unlike with IntenseDebate I don't get emailed when a new comment is posted with Blogger. If you want to reach me, there's always Twitter and Facebook! Oh, or you could try Ask.Fm?

I am launching something soon!

I love design, and I love the internet. I also love blogging. I would also love to build up a portfolio!

Soon I'll merge those loves into one big puddle of awesome. Next week I'll be launching a blog design service FOR FREE (for now) because I want to practice HTML, CSS and graphic design again (my true loves)!

More on this next week! 


Stay beautiful,

About the Wannabe Empress

 

Her name is Pattee. 

She's 20 years old and living in the land of Kiwis and Hobbits. Her dreams are full of beautiful clothes, endless landscapes intermixed with sky-kissing high-rises and a myriad of kooky things. The realm she would one day hope to rule is full of pretty and lots and lots of technology.

In this world where it sometimes feels like everyone's only watching from the sidelines, a girl's got to fight for what's hers. Her world and her destiny.

Whoa, cheesy. (But true!)

On this blog, expect:

• Personal posts
• Photos, lots of photos! 
• Gyaru (That's a type of Japanese fashion!)
• Makeup
• Nail art
• Geeky things like Game of Thrones, tabletop games, etc
• Things I've read
• Business babble
• Techie things
• ... and anything else I might cook up!

Enjoy your stay in the realm of the Wannabe Empress! Feel free to stick around and chat, or find the gal on another slice of the internet.
