This is the weekend I’m finally taking the plunge and changing over to a new theme on Books, Bones & Buffy. This TERRIFIES me, because it’s the first new theme I’ve had in nearly four years of blogging! It’s one thing to update your old theme, which I’ve done numerous times, but switching themes means this blog is going to look funny for a few days while I mess with things. You may see it switch back and forth from my current design to a new one, if you happen to stop by over the weekend. No, you have not entered a parallel universe! My method of designing this blog is mostly trial and error and lots of experimentation, especially since I’ve decided to purchase a theme that has lots of cool features that I’m unfamiliar with.
I’m not a coder, or a computer whiz by any means. I rely on the folks who ARE to create easy-to-use themes. I’ve purchased Tweak Me V2 from Ashley at Nose Graze, and I couldn’t be more excited to get started. I know many bloggers who use this theme, and I considered long and hard before I plunked down my money. Hopefully by weekend’s end, you’ll see a new look here.
And thanks for wearing your hard hats, folks. I wouldn’t want you to be killed by a falling beam!
Can’t wait to see the new look! 😀
Exciting! I keep thinking of coding up my own theme, or some plugins to help simplify my standard posts/pages. (I am a coder). But, just not enough time to do EVERYTHING!! Excited to see what it looks like when your done!

Good Luck 🙂 🙂
Good luck! If you have your own webspace now, you might be able to install a separate installation of WordPress and play with the theme that way, before you do it live on this site.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll do! Ashley’s stuff is great.

I think by now I’ve ran at least 20 different themes on my blog, lol. I never can seem to decide entirely on one. Looking forward to seeing what the new look is like when it’s done!

Good luck, Tammy! And have fun – it’s always a blast re-decorating wherever it is 😉
I look forward to seeing the new look!

Looking good! 🙂
Thanks:-)
Looks great – I really need to change my theme – it’s so dated!! I’m too worried about doing it though. I’ll just have to ‘woman up’ and get on with it!

Thanks Lynn! Changing themes is definitely harder than just redesigning the theme you already have, but I think in the long run it will be a good change:-D
Hi,
Today I visited your site, your site’s product image idea seems lovely. Thanks for the credit. I will definitely try to go someday!
Thanks,
