As you all know, I’m a WordPress girl. Farmgirl Writes is run through WordPress, and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. (Although, the shift from Blogger was erm, interesting.)

I know many of you subscribe to Farmgirl Writes with Google Friend Connect (335 of you!). You may have heard that Google is terminating the ability for non-Blogger blogs to use GFC. I’m already beginning to notice that my posts aren’t showing up in the Blogger feed. On Thursday, this tool will not be available for my use anymore. Which brings me to the point of this post.

If you want to subscribe to my blog, there are other ways of doing so. I highly recommend Bloglovin, which I use myself. I’m sure you’ll have heard me sing it’s praises previously.  bloglovin

Google Reader and Feedburner are other great options. You’re welcome to subscribe via email as well. (Please note, I post daily, so you will receive an email 6 days a week.)

Enter your email address:
You probably didn’t know this, but Farmgirl Writes has a Facebook page. From this point on, I will be consistently posting the links to posts there (that sounded a bit redundant). Click here to like Farmgirl Writes.

My apologies for this long, very boring post. I promise, I have far more interesting things for the rest of the week.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Harmonium – Template Release

I promised a coding surprise for you all, yes?

Harmonium
a basic template for Blogger

I attempted to do several screenshots in order to make an amazing promo image, but because my brain is tired, and I’m not used to Photoshop, it didn’t quite work…
Instead, you all can see a live demo here.
About the template: Much of this is based off of the Minima template that Blogger once utilized. It is more open, however, and ready for header and sidebar customization. Probably the biggest thing about this release is that it already has the code for dropdown menus. Yup, that’s right. If you decide to put this template on your blog, all you’ll need to do is place the following code in a sidebar HTML widget. 
sample
sample…
sample
sample…
sample
sample…

Just place your content where it says “sample”. To change the color of the menu bar, go to the edit HTML section of Blogger and press Crl +F. Copy this code into the bar that comes up, and it will take you there. Then replace the HTML color code with one of your choice.

To download Harmonium, please right-click on this link and hit “save as”. Then, open the document (it’s a .txt document), and copy the code in it. Go to your HTML and check “expand widgets”. Then, replace that code with this code. Blogger will ask you whether you want to keep your widgets that you had previously – I’d definitely advise yes, unless you’re totally stripping your blog.
