Welcome all you techie mums

So. Ella linked to here from Mumsnet, eh? Perhpas then someone could teach us how to set up this blog so it's more obvious which one of us has written our posts? At the moment they look identical except for a small name at the bottom. Advice please.

Also, Ella, got any plans to post again? How is the knitting going?

Since arriving here in Plymouth, I've only used my needles to help create a fancy dress outfit where they were the first pointing object I could reach when I needed to make a hole in the bin bag I was trying to turn into a ball gown. I do actually have photos but no way of uploading them. Or at least not one that I've worked out.

I also have run out of the cotton wool needed to finish that Debbie Bliss baby cardigan. BUMMER! I'm particularly miffed because it was on clearance sale at John Lewis but I thought I had enough until I checked my stash long after the sale finished. PLONKER!

HOWEVER, it looks like my computer might come with a DVD player which I envision will give me nice, calm, knitting time for when the studying gets to much.

Now I must prepare for my first case study unit: Conception. How fitting is that?!

hmmm, personalising posts, the only way i can think of is, try using firefox as your internet browser, if you then go to the customise page of your blog, and either edit or create post, you should find more options available, ie, size of font, colour etc. through this, you could each choose a colour, and always post in that colour.

the blogger template sets the post colour as constant, but firefox allows it to be adapted for each post. if you go and have a look at a blog called dottie angel you will see what i mean. she is using a blogger template, but some of the words within her posts are difrerent colours and sizes, its all done through firefox.

hope that helps!

Hi Lucy Kate

Really good advice. Thanks for that! It looks like Ella has already started with it.

Cheers again

glad that was useful, i only started using firefox myself on the advice of a friend. i find it a bit slow on my emac though, so still tend to do posts through safari, then tweek them through firefox.
