Tackle it Tuesday- Blog Makeover

Dominique Recommendations, Thoughts Blog makeover, tackle it tuesday

This week I embarked on a project which I had been stalling for a long time- Making over the blog Dominique’s Desk .

I’ve wanted to change the header and blog template from the default Twenty ten theme to a more suitable one. I forgot to take screenshots of the old template with the header before I did the switch-a-roo to the new header and template. However here are some shots of the how the header has evolved through the years.

In 2009 ( When I only had two kids)

In 2010 after Tiger girl was born I changed the header again.

Here is the latest header.

I ‘ve updated the photos and changed the tagline. I’ve dropped the “From” in the blog’s name as I think it’s unnecessary seems I’m so used to sign off as Dominique’s Desk when I drop comments on other sites. I’m still think there needs to be some minor edits on the header in regards to the alignment of the blog name.

I’ve also made some edits to the stylesheet of the Commune theme to increase font size and change the link colours to make it more readable on the eyes.

Any suggestions on making it better?

10 Facts about me in High School

: Studying © by scui3asteveo

My high school years seem so long ago. It was like more then a decade ago for me. We don’t really have High School here in Singapore as from Primary school (7yrs to 12 years old) and we go on to Secondary school ( 13-16 yrs old).
After that it is either Junior College or Polytechnic or then to the University.

Here are 10 Facts about me in High(Secondary) School

I was in an all girls Methodist school.

I played netball and was in the String Ensemble.

The highlight of physical education lessons was that we were taken to an all boys school for swimming lessons.

I went on my first student exchange program to Taiwan.

I was busy with homework, ensemble practices, piano and violin lessons.

During the first two years our school was located in town and it was really cool that one can catch the 1.30pm movie straight when school ended at 1pm.

The majority of high school friends who I still keep in contact with are not from my class.

I was a rather quiet girl and didn’t really hang around with my classmates out of school. On the rare occasion that we had to meet up to do a project Mc Donalds was our usual haunt.

I was into Japanese music and particularly the duo Chage & Aska.

I wasn’t into fashion and the latest trends and am still not into it now.
