New and Improved

Last week's assignment was to improve and add to our blog. I typically lean towards more minimalist design, but the last layout of my blog was a bit to minimal. I didn't really have any color and my banner didn't reflect my aesthetic. The first change I made was I created a new header. I knew I wanted it to be my own photo, so I had a "mini shoot" when I shot potential photos I could use for a header. I also added some color and enlarged my nav bar.

Other changes I made include adding a background and labeling my posts. Labeling my posts will keep them a bit more organized and easy to find. I was unsure about adding a background, but I think it pairs well with my banner and the feel of my blog. 

The last couple changes I made were adding some code to get my Instagram to show up in my side bar and adding a portfolio link. I had a portfolio link in my nav bar before, but it hadn't been updated for a while. I also updated my bio and photo.
