Day Two – I have to audit myself.
Today’s task: audit your brand — look at all the ways your blog communicates to visitors to make sure it’s consistent and focused — and make one update to reinforce your brand.
Oh dear, it looks tricky and scary, but these guys know what they are doing, so I spent six hours today, changing themes. updating widgets, footers and headers and generally looking at this site, and the sites of those I admire. It appears my theme was not longer being used – sad face- Guess what I chose another theme, it is Penscratch 2, I was using Penscratch 1. Hahahaha , I had no idea what I was already using, I hit the LIVE button and the sky fell in. I lost all my custom settings.
I ate a marshmallow and considered my fate. It felt like the cat had just knocked my playing card tower down. I panicked and fired off an email to my lovely hosts, who promised they would be back to me in 48 hours. I wanted to cry but ate two more mallows instead. Long story short I figured it all out and the history was all there I just had to find it. Today I have lifted the bonnet to this site and now understand it’s workings a little more. I tried to change but everything was just a little bit too shiny and flashy for me.
Am I too old to change, can I not see the flaws, am I stuck in a rut or just do I like what I like. After six hours of work my site looks the same, even though I broke it, I have built another, just the same, except I have a translate button, and lost my home page somewhere, so that’s two changes, I hit the brief.

You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I’d by no means understand. It seems too complex and very wide for me. I’m having a look ahead in your subsequent post, I’ll attempt to get the grasp of it!

Thanks Alex. I chose a very simple theme -Penscratch- and played with all the options before I actually published anything. It seems daunting to start with but do a little at a time and there is lots of help out there. The Daily Post has a weekly Community Pool which is fantastic for advice from other bloggers if you have never used it try.

I am no longer positive where you’re getting your info, but good topic. I needs to spend a while learning more or working out more. Thanks for excellent information I used to be searching for this information for my mission.
