So, today a girlfriend and I decided it was the perfect weather for a picnic date ! :D
We got ready by 10AM to buy groceries, and by the time it hit noon - the sun was warming and welcoming !!


We packed quickly with the food we prepared, laid out the picnic mat and munched on like crazy ! Nothing better than 4 servings of food, shared between 2 :P

Future of Our Blog.

After our first discussion today with the group, we all agreed that it is going to be more of a personal blog. Something similar to sharing our food and photography with others on the internet, like Facebook. Two of our focus points will be food and photography.

A few of us were thinking of choosing a template which makes our photos stand out. So after looking at the possible templates on Blogger, we figured that 'Picture Window' might be the best template for viewing images. It's simple, sophisticated and if we were the audience, it'll more comfortable to read.

Most of us agreed on the basic colours of black, white and maybe grey... But haven't decided on which colour would be for the background and which colour would be for our fonts. As our blog would be simple, sidebars and headers would be used a lot to separate the different information for our readers.

Gadgets and stuff we were thinking of doing... if we have the time LOL or stuff like connecting to Facebook or Twitter. 

Tags are gonna be fun! So readers can search up in the 'Search Box' for specific blogposts they want to read.

Since this is going to be a more personal blog, we were heading towards using handwritten fonts such as “Covered by Your Grace” and maybe all of the other parts of our blog to give more of an interpersonal mood. I guess as long as it's legible.

Overall we try to keep the blog simple by adjusting our blog space, font and colours.  I think we did a good job focusing on the blog’s theme today during our Prac Class !

Food and photography... I can't wait to post all about it ! 

First Blog Preview

This would be the template draft we are going to have.

Testing the visual and the fonts.
