Qui's customer review

So if you'll notice, I just had my blog redesigned by Fine and Dandy Blog Designs. I mentioned to Qui that she needs what I call a "customer gush corner" on that design blog.(She calls it a "customer review section." Pssh.) I said I'd write something for it if she made one.

So here it is:

Qui is a great designer who created a beautiful and unique design in record time.  Seriously. That's like the fastest I ever heard of designers getting back to their client. So speed definitely gets some points there.

I think her order form needs to have more clues as to what her client actually wants her blog to look like. A lot of other designers ask for inspiration photos or blogs. Mine ended up more girly than I would like(partly my fault. My mom was like "there goes all your male readers.").I wanted my blog to look a little less flowery and fashiony. It's super pretty though, and I DID say to Qui to design it however she wanted. What did I expect her to do, read my mind?

Also, Qui forgot my signature at first(also my fault. I should have filled out the form instead of IM'ing her all my information at once XD.)



And some customers would probably feel uncomfortable with giving out their login information. Some designers don't need it. And Qui's designs eliminate the three-column option. I have no idea what that IS, but people like options, ya know?

So if I had to do it again, I would provide a couple reference photos(to something with more birds and butterflies). And change the kit. XD.

Bottom line-Provide reference photos, example blogs, and what you want your blog to look like.  I have no doubt Qui will do a fantastic job on your blog!

See! Pretty signature!

    Thanks for the suggestions! :D
    You were my first real design soooo, yea. You and Audrey were the lab...mice. (I didn't want to call you rats, so I put mice instead.)
    I wish I didn't have to ask for login information, but I'm changing a lot of the code. It's difficult for a lot of people to do. And installing it all can be quite time consuming depending on the layout.

    I think i'm going to go edit my order form now xD

    XD Okay! Maybe in a couple months when you don't have anybody else's to do I'll ask you to redesign it, if you don't mind.

    PS. I saw your form. XD

    Hmm, an interesting interview. I'm actually getting my blog redesigned too, and this makes me all the more excited! I got to see Qui's new and improved order form, and it specified exactly what I want. And now, I anticipate with and big smile and loads of cupcakes! Great post :))

    Your blog looks awesome Amaranthine! I love it!

    If we sign up to be designed by her will she do it or do we have to pay or something? I'm curious because I'm loving her blog and yours!

    Please let me know

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.

I need book recommendations!

    I heard this movie stunk. C'mon, I'm dying over here! In other, unrelated news, want to hear one of the most overrated book series I've ever read is? Alex Rider. I picked up Stormbreaker after legions of people going "READ ITZ AMARANTHINE TIS AMAZING". It was alright....I guess. I didn't...fall asleep or anything. But it was definitely not mind blowing. For starters, Alex is way underdeveloped as a character. He was a little funny and relate able but not on the same level as I was expecting. And he's a bit cliched in the fact that he's just generally smart and knows everything, without any explanation or emphasis. I guess you could say that he's only a genius when he needs to be, and it doesn't add any other levels to the story. Oh, and did I mention that he's well versed in martial arts too? Yeah. Ender could still kick his butt though. I guess it would be a good read for boys who don't read much. Definitely not YA lev
