NEW! Premade Blogger Templates

Hello hello! I know things have been kind of quiet around here for a while. I've been working on setting up my new website and blog (will be launching this week!) but wanted to drop in to make this announcement.

I recently rebranded my design business and opened my Etsy shop in its new name. Over the last couple of months I've been working on adding new premade themes to the shop. They're available for INSTANT DOWNLOAD so no more waiting around on me to send you the files!

I added a new theme last night and it is one of my favorites. It was designed to be a food blog template. I see a lot of food blogs on Blogger but their Recipe Index (if they even have one) is usually unorganized and outdated. This template includes a dynamic built-in recipe index! It automatically updates every time you post a new recipe based on a few variables (instructions on how to label your posts are included in the files). You can check it out by clicking the image below or take a look at the other templates by visiting my shop!

New Instagram

Over the last couple of months I've been working on branding, specifically when it comes to my social media presence. I pretty much have a different username for every account but lately I've wanted to get them all organized and match my blog name better.

A few days ago I woke up with around 30,000 new Instagram followers and quickly realized they were mostly, if not all, SPAM. I looked down through quite a bit of them and they all had the same amount of photos (5) and no followers. So, I decided Instagram was a good place to start. I made my old account (@blondish) private and set up a new one: @kendradarling



I didn't want to use thedarlingblog because I feel like it depersonalizes the account a little, especially since I'll be using it as my main, personal Instagram account as well. So, go follow me over there please! It's kind of nice starting from scratch but I have a lot of people to go re-follow now.

I've been working on a lot of pre-made blog designs for the relaunch of my shop and this a color palette I used for one of them. I love the bright pink and blue up against the muted neutrals.
