The thirteenth layout I made

was for Yan of and for Books By Their Cover. Go check it out there, because she's using it and her blog rocks!


Yan's layout was a bit of work but definitely worth it. Her header was completely different from anything I'd made before, featuring four different pictures and I wasn't sure how to do that at first, but thanks to a friend, I figured out that picnik.com would work perfectly. So I combined the four pictures, and then used photobucket to add the white border and writing. Then I tried a completely different background, even matching up the backgrounds of the sidebars and main posts, before realizing it didn't look right, so I went back to my photobucket album and this one popped out at me. It was a little different, a little crazy (in a good way), but it seemed very Yan. Just very very unique. Then I made her menu buttons (my first!) and I think it all turned out nicely.

You can check out the test site here.

Oh, I LOVE the header shown here, but on the actual blog it appears to have changed. Why?

The one here is beautiful! Good Work!
