Thought the title might be appropriate for both mums and babies

OP posts:

on products and pricing.. you've mentioned twice to ask if they can't see what they're looking for. looks a bit desperate....

i think i like the spots... the colour does need to be sober though because you don't want the background to distract from your lovely cakey photos

also, do the links to the photos have to take you to flickr? i reckon you'd be better putting all photos actually on blog if possible because otherwise you're losing your traffic to flickr potentially. ir actually, if they do need to stay in flick, can you get photos to open in a new window instead of current one?

(hope this is kind of feedback you want!)

apologies for typing, only got one hand!

'fettling'..what a great word! I've only heard it in the sense of being in fine fettle before!

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 10:03

by 'eck, t'back parlour were filthy. It looks reet gradely now i've gi'n it a good fettling.

excellent!!

I like it with spots too - dark was quite sombre

Also re pricing, could you indicate a range so people have some idea if a cake will cost say £5 or £50?

LOL @ Hots always drinking Yorkshire tea . We are but mere pretenders!

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 10:06

crisp we can but dream of being cool yorkshire lasses but by drinking their tea, we're one step closer!

oopsandbabycoconut · 19/06/2010 10:07

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 10:31

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 10:45

ok hold on although I think I tried the post blocks bleeding in and didn't like it as they all ran together e.g. multiple posts on the same day were just a big blurb

brb

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 10:53

your headings seem to be different shades of blue. i reckon roll-over colour should be the same as the spot, whereas heading colour should be a darker shade of the other background colour. "sunshine in a cupcake" (imo) is the correct colour

the headings on the right eg 'about kitschnbake' doesn't look right, very blurred. Actually, the dates looked blurred too

(please remember whilst reading the above, i love it and think you're doing a wonderful job,it just needs some tweaking)

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 10:55

the blue of the ribbon isn't right either... as an idea...can you go to a diy shop and pick up a colour chart? find one with your blues on from the background and then only chose colours for your blog from the same chart

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 10:56

nope, that's beyond me I can make the post/sidebar smaller to fit the banner BUT that leaves a whole lot of spotty space either side - what I need to do is strech the banner and I don't know how to do that (confession - friend set that bit up)

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 10:59

according to me the Headers (for the posts right?) are all the same colour?? the post ones are bold though where as the side panel titles aren't - does that matter?

would date be better in black?

happy to be tweaked Miamla - my eyes are crossed looking at it so its all just one bit turquoise spot to me

shall go look at ribbon now

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 11:01

how about red or shocking pink?! am thinking there is too much blue going on here

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 11:08

unvisited links aren't the right shade either but... visited links are perfect colour (imo!)

oooh, i'm liking the pink ribbon

'could a cupcake be more kitsch' looks darker than 'sunshine in a cupcake' (on same page)

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 11:10

"About KitschnBake" on right hand side looks blurry still, have you got any effects on it?

hmm, just realised, might be my browser (safari)...hang on, i'll look in a different one

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 11:11

right, have lost my fecking FB button so will sort the links & titles in a mo

apologies for all this

MrsMiamla · 19/06/2010 11:15

ok, headings on right look unblurred in netscape but v blurred in safari

dizzydixies · 19/06/2010 11:21

what the hell are netscape and safari?!!???

good grief, I'm drowning here and I now have two twitter buttons and no FB button lol

can't decide between the pink twitter button to match the Miamla inspired pink or the wee birdy twitter button
