An Interview of a Budding Blog Tweaker

Jill: How did you come up with the new design for your blog?
Mys: I was getting bored with how my blog looked so I started playing with the navigation buttons first. After that, I played with the header and looked for a pattern that I could use for a background.

Jill: Where did you get your header photo/ clipart? It's pretty and cute.
Mys: I got it from gorjuss! Suzanne Woolcott is an amazing artist.

Jill: What about your pattern? I don't think you know how to design.
Mys: Admittedly, I don't know how to design. I got the background from colourlovers. You just have to specify what hue you like, and choose whether you want to view palettes, patterns or if you're just looking for the hex code of a particular color.

Jill: I noticed that you have a new font that isn't usually found in blogs. How did you do that?
Mys: I found an interesting site that helped me change the fonts around. Do you like it?

Jill: I'm the interviewer, I should be asking questions, yes, I do like it...so how did you do it?
Mys: I'll post a very definitive way of how to do it, but I'm sleepy from all the blog tweaking it entailed that I'm keeping it as a secret for now. Kidding! The short and simple version of it can be found at Kernest. However, the putting it in your blog is a bit tricky. I plan to post a tutorial for those interested.

Jill: What happens now?
Mys: I'm going to charge people for blog layouts. Kidding, I don't think I have a future in it. I can only tweak my own blog.

Jill: What do you want to accomplish in giving this interview?
Mys: I want to hear about the comments people are going to make about my blog, it's layout, my tweaking ability/disability, my taste, their thoughts.

Jill: Should we tell your readers our secret?
Mys: Nope. Our secret remains a secret.

About The Mediocre Writer and The Blog

The Writer & The Blog:


      I am Mys. I discovered the joy of blogging when I decided that I wanted to start writing again. My blogging journey actually started May of 2008 but I was never content with what I've written or what I've done with my blog. I kept on stopping, starting, revamping and lost all the focus that I had. I continue to write this blog since I don't want the domain to go to waste. I won this domain thru Calvin's domain giveaway.
      I like to write. I love it sometimes. Writing doesn't like me, hence I call myself a mediocre writer. I like to write about a lot of things. My thoughts, obsessions, current passion, and a variety of interests. 
      I've found out that I like to join blog contests or giveaways. So you can expect to find my entries to wonderful contests online that are open internationally or to the Philippines only. Sometimes, I even join in contests that are open to the US since I have it sent to my relatives who might appreciate it or wait until one of them comes back here.
       I like writing about blogging resources, blog tweaking, and sometimes, earning money online plans.  I like recommending sites or good reads. I write about my web discoveries. I am a pinoywebsurfer like Calvin. 

       I brag about my famous cousin who is a passionate artist. I am related through affinity, so I stake a claim on bragging rights. You can look him up, his name is David Garibaldi.

Here's what you can expect from this blog:

• My blog contests/giveaways entries - which you're all invited to join to as well.
• Recommended books,sites,music,movies, tv series and other stuff.
  
• My addictions: Vampires and Vampires and Vampires and others.
• My cousin: David Garibaldi
• My stories as a Mom - I plan to be active in Mommy Moments
• My own Meme - still under construction. 
• Blog tweaking or Blogging Resources
• My ways of making money online (or not!)
• Thoughts, Obsessions, Passions and Current Interests

      That's about it. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
