Spotlight

Since we haven't had a spotlight in quite a while, I decided it's about time! This months spotlight is on 2 chic bloggers. Our first spotlight goes to Miss Rasha Marie over at:

Her blog is amazing! When she first started her blog she came to me for some blog designing tips and now she's a pro! Her blog is ultra chic, and she one fab writer. I love reading her posts and she gots plenty of followers to prove it's not just me. Go check her out!

Our next spotlight goes out to Short Southern Momma I first off love her tagline: "Just trying to make it through the day with good hair, a smile..and a little sass on the side." She has tons of home decor ideas, fun stories, and awesome giveaways.

There you have it folks, our spotlights for the month! If you would like to be featured as a spotlight blogger, email me at thinkpinkcottage@yahoo.com

Forecast: Cloudy

Label Cloudy that is. You're probably thinking just what the heck is a label cloud?? Well let me help you out here:
A Label Cloud is a group of labels in a cloud-like form.
Example:

Adding a Label Cloud is very simple now that Blogger has added a SPECIAL feature to the Labels Gadget.

First make sure you add Labels to your post, which when creating a new post, down in the bottom right corner you will see LABELS with an empty box to write in. Choose descriptions for that post and add there to make a LABEL.


Go to Layout tab of your blog.

Click Add a Gadget

Choose Labels gadget.

Configure Labels box will pop up.

Now in the Display section change List to a Cloud, click on the cloud option.
