Blogging 101: Free Watercolor Labels for Blogger

Haiz, This is what happens when I am on a looooong break, 1 month to be exact keeping myself busy with updating my blog and finding ways to increase its traffic, I joined this Facebook group Bloggers Helping Each Other. I love this group....it keep me busy for 2 days hahahahha, that will be another story.

To take a break I decided to tweak the blog again hahahahahha which took me a day. I was not able to go to the gym or do any chores sigh!

So what did I changed? the labels on the side bar.

If you want to know how to add any social media labels of buttons on the sidebar of you blog, I have the post HERE.

So here was how my blog looked like after the updates.

Watercolor Labels

Transparent Labels

I liked them both but my heart liked the transparent labels.

So here is the exciting part, while I was designing the watercolor labels on Canva I made a few for you guys that you could use. Click on the picture to download.

Can't decide which one? You could download the whole collection HERE.

There are only 9 labels per color if you need other labels please message me HERE and I will try my best to assist you :-).

Let me know what you think about these watercolor labels on the comment section.

Till the next time...

Blogging 101: How to add a Pinterest Pin to Blog Posts in Blogger

Before you say anything hahahaha this post will be links of blogs that I found helpful. I've been tweaking my blog for sometime now. The downside of it is I will lose some of the customization that I have done previouly... I know! I should have saved my template before I made the changes hahahah well too late right?

This Blogging 101 is not only to help other bloggers but also for me to archive the links that I have used so that when another day comes that I need it I won't be frantically googling it like how I have been doing for the past weeks hahahahhaa... I could be stressful ok...believe me.

My future self will be thanking me for this post hahahahahha..

Blogging 101: How to Add a Custom Signature to Blog Posts in Blogger

I've started this blog around 2012 and proud to say that the look has gone a long way hahahahah. I've always envied those pretty layout that other bloggers have so recently I've been doing some tweeking and I am quite happy on how it looks like right now and there will be some more changes that I would like to do...but lets do it one step at a time am still quite scared playing with my HTML and all those techie stuff.

I was able to add my author box, you could read the How to HERE. So this gave me the confidence to go and explore more hahahaha which lead me to thinking of putting a signature on all my post.

This is my current signature now, hahahaha I might change it.

There are lots of ways you could add your signature and I've tried so many and failed quite a few times too

Well in my search I stumbled upon this blog A relaxed gal wherein she found 2 sites on how to add your signature and like her I found it easier to follow the 2nd blog.

1. Create your signature image

First you’ll need to create your signature image using a photo editing program like canva, pic monkey, or the online Pixlr editor. Get creative. Maybe you just want text, or maybe text with an image… Or even a scan of your actual signature! I created mine on a transparent background in Adobe Illustrator easily blends in with my blog background colour. If you do the same, save it as a PNG. Otherwise a JPG will work.

2. Signature that's automatically applied to all posts

STEP 3: Upload your image to a web album like Picasa Web Album or Photobucket
STEP 4: After uploading the image capture the URL
STEP 5: Go to Template > Customize
STEP 6: Copy and paste this code in the CSS box

.entry-content:after {content: url(IMAGE URL);margin-left: 200px;}

STEP 7: Replace IMAGE URL with the URL for your signature image

Preview your blog and there you have it...your signature should appear at the bottom of your blog posts. :-)
