Ready For A Blog Change

I've grown bored of the way my blog looks. 

So bored that I looked up another word for 'bored.' I stumbled across its definition which more or less said "wearily dull" which I thought was fitting for how I felt. 

I love the picture I have at the top. I took it after a long hike up to Priekestolen (which means Pulpit Rock) in Stavanger. That was the hike where I dangled my feet off ledge with a 600 meter high drop straight into the fjord below. 


I think the picture at the top of my blog is also really important for people who don't know what a 'fjord' is. 
I understand those people, because I used to be one of them - much to the dismay of most Norwegians. I remember shocking the boys that came to the states to study abroad when I admitted that I had no idea what a fjord was. (It's a long, narrow, deep inlet of sea between steep slopes). Need more pictures than the one above?

Fjords:







So, I'm ready for a blog make-over. The thing is, I need to learn HTML and CSS  and I have no idea where to start. Also, I'm sure I don't have the patience for it. 
But I'll keep you posted and hopefully one day soon you'll look at my blog and see something fresh and fantastic! 

Wish me luck!

    Yay another Norway blogging friend! I love Megan's blog and I know I'm going to love yours too. Megans already has me planning a Norway adventure so I can see the fjords. Good luck with your redesign. That's always one of my favorite parts of blogging.

    It's not so hard alyssa. I don't REALLY know HTML but I figured out some things here and there. And blogspot kind of helps you tamper with things in the Design section :)

    I love these photos!!! My husband and I got married in Stavanger while we were living there from 2088-2009...he's an engineer and had a one year placement there. We loved it!!! I have a photo of me on Priekestolen too!!!

    Look forward to the makeover, I've just recently gotten into blogging...it's a little overwhelming!!

    Tusen takk,
