Do the Necessary first: Getting my online House in order ~ 31 Days / Day 6

Oef Day 6 already in my 31 Day Challenge to Get Things Done! My house and terrace are now plenty decorated for Fall. Time to move on to some other things on my list.

With writing a post every day I was spending a lot more time on my own blog. And that kind of rubbed my face in the fact that my blog itself was seriously neglected too. There was that banner that hadn’t changed since February. That old picture of me in my sidebar was looking very sad too. And the category posts weren’t really doing their job because I hadn’t updated them all year.

So without further ado I decided to do something about it. And you can see it all around.

New blog banner

If you want to change your own blog banner and don’t know how, I have got you covered. I wrote a tutorial on how to make a blog header for blogger in my DIY Blog Design Series

Updated categories

If you like to see some of the stuff I have done previously just click on your category of choice in the sidebar and you will find most of my posts at your disposal there.

I know I don’t really have wavy hair. But choosing this picture makes me at least have a full head of hair in my online life

updated navigational pages

If you have just recently found my blog, you may want to check out this new page I created. I shows you a quick way to see what I am all about and what you can expect here at Songbird.

And I added a quick way for you to follow me on Pinterest.

Of all the 6 days so far, this was the least fun to do. But it had to be done! And it feels just as wonderful to call this job finished.

Sometimes we are so focusing on the nice and the pretty that we forget the necessary and the mundane….

So what’ye think like the new changes? Did I forget anything? Would you like to see other changes/ features here on the blog? Lemme know, please…..

After all my blog design is as much for your pleasure as it is mine….

I am writing a series of 31 days to Get it Done! You can find all the posts in this series here.
On the first day I explained in detail what this series is about and what I am going to do, find that post and all the posts since then in order here.
