Welcome to the new JustSomethingIMade.com!

The moving truck is unpacked and I am now happily in my new blog home here on WordPress! Recently, I made the decision to move all of my blog content from Blogger and begin blogging on the WordPress platform. There are several reasons, but one very important one is that I want the best way possible to share FREE PDF graphic files with my readers, a function not available through Blogger without using an outside file sharing source.

This process has taught me that Blogger was designed for blogging and blogging only, it’s simpler and a bit more user friendly than WordPress, (so please bear with me as I learn my way around.) WordPress, however, is so much more than just a blog. It’s used by many as a content management system. It’s extremely customizable and allows users to grow their blogs into fully functional websites.

I believe my current followers have automatically moved with me… but just in case they didn’t please resubscribe at http://justsomethingimade.com/feed/

The tedious move was not done by me. Desirai Labrada of Desirai.com made every single bit of the details come together into the fabulous new website. I supplied the graphics and a few notes and she and her team worked very hard giving special attention to every last detail of the transfer, new blog and design. Please contact Desirai if you are looking into starting a new blog, modifying your current blog or considering a move to a new platform altogether. She’s more than happy to answer all your questions and is prepared to hold your hand through every step of the process.

I will be making adjustments here and there over the next few weeks as I get used to WordPress, so wish me luck with all of it! Thankfully, Desirai promised to hold my hand. How awesome is that?

Blog Dancing

I found a darling little antique flip book at a rummage sale over the weekend for $1.50. I scanned each individual page and using Photoshop animation, created a fun freebie for your blog’s sidebar.

Click on either size (200 px wide or 150px wide) to open in a new window and copy the URL at the top of your browser window. Add a gadget to your blog by placing as an image using the URL.

More JSIM animations from the past:

• Animals
• Your Comments Make Me Happy
• Cuckoo Clock
• Practice Patience
• Jump Toss Turn
• I’d Rather be Blogging

A Father-Daughter Moment

Where does the time go? Last night Jeff and Sarah attended a father-daughter dinner at church, so they both dressed up so sweet. I just can’t believe how fast my youngest is becoming a young woman. I was able to snap a few shots before they raced out the door.
Sarah wore her great-grandmother’s pearl earrings and my long string of Lisa Leonard cream freshwater pearl necklace wrapped twice. She looked like a princess. Pardon me while I glow.
