Wow Denise,
Your blog is looking GREAT! A lot of wonderful cards and information about GCU. I just LOVE your 'ladies'!

In case anyone is interested....I, too have been updating my blog with GCU cards. Not as many as Denise, but getting there. Anything to promote the site is helpful to all of us.

I don't have a blog, but it's something I've definitely been thinking about for a while. Now that GCU has added this feature, I need to get busy

Hi Denise,
Your pond looks okay to me. At least you have a lot of posts. I tend not to post as much as I should AND I need to advertise somewhere that I have this blog. I very new at blogs, but I'm getting the hang of it.

I see that you took your Z panel off. If you are worried about too many things going on, I didn't think so. ALSO...I went back to the html and made the size of the panel smaller to fit the side 'thingy'. W-340 H-380 if you want to change. I just experimented until it fit.

Another thing. I can't figure out how to get my ElizDesigns 'Header' to center on the Blogger page. Yours looks so professional. Maybe I need to put a larger image for the logo.

happy blogging, GCUing, and Z'ing,
elizabeth

Hey Denise,

Your blog is looking fantastic!
I spent an afternoon uploading and arranging a similar blog. When I had it just as I wanted, I looked for a way to save it.... Never found one and lost Everything!
Right now I'm having connection/satellite problems. They will be out to service my connection within the week.. So after I get that corrected, I think I will go to Blogspot (your host site). I already have a blog over there for something completely different. But think I will see if I can put up a second site for GCU cards.
For those of you who are not a real 'techi', like me, then I can offer that Blogspot, is quite simple to use. (There may be many more sites that are just as user friendly; I don't know. But Blogspot is.)
It will not do everything you want, but it has the advantage of being a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) site where you don't have to know html to get your site up. That's huge for me. Wink

Imagine if even half of us put up such a blog, what traffic we could generate for GCU!
Go Team! Grin

Sue

Denise, I got my Z panel the 'unconventional' way. (I didn't know any better at the time.) But, I copied the code for the panel right after I 'post something for sale' and then it is always bringing up the latest items.

I like your fishies . . I'll bring over my fishin' pole.

It's actually 60 today here in Wisconsin ... but measurable snow this weekend! ahhhhhhhhh! Being a Virginia girl...it's hard not to scream this time of year because my body is so used to spring, but it takes too long to get here. At least our previous snow from December has finally melted.

Sue . . I actually feel for you. I have a Squidoo lens that I can't for life of me figure out. I want to dig in and get it out there. Blogger is great and pretty easy to use. I'm sure there are other things I haven't figured out yet....but for promoting I'm going to keep using it.
