Got the itch to switch?

To Wordpress, that is!

It's all the buzz in the blogging world, it seems.  Is Blogger better?  Should I switch to Wordpress?  All my friends are doing it.  Will I lose all of my information?

HELP!!!!

No worries!  If you've got the itch to switch, contact us!  We can discuss your options and if you decide to make the switch, we can take care of it for you.

Let's get down to Bid'ness!

We have been busy girls and we wanted to share a few things with you today!!

First, please remember that not only do we offer web and blog design, we also do graphic design!! This is GREAT news for you because with the holidays right around the corner, you're gonna want to get a head start on your holiday cards for friends and family!!

Here are some examples of our work:

 

 

If you'd like more information about ordering your own Holiday Cards (or any type of Photo Card), click HERE to get started!

We also wanted you to know that we also do Custom comp cards!! A comp card (composite card) is essentially a models’ business card. By using Blogalicious Designs to design your card, you will no doubt make a great first impression! Here is an example of a comp card that we just did for an on-going client:

 

And finally here are a few sites we've completed over the past few weeks...

Here's What's Cooking: This is a site we did for one of our great friends from church. Steph and I have known Carolyn for years and have ALWAYS LOVED her food. It's about time she started a site sharing her menus! I'll be going every Monday to her site for dinner ideas for sure!!!

CupCake FabuLous: This was a re-design for a previous client. Meleah came to us a while back for a blog with navigation and recently changed up her logo so she needed her site to reflect that change.  We got to work and voila!!

The Purple Pug: This is an awesome website where you can order party supplies, invites, decor, etc.Kristy   decided she needed a blog to talk about all the cute stuff she creates. If you're in the market for party themed creations, this is the place to go!!

Staci's Heart: And then there's Staci (you know, the other half of the Blogalicious Duo)! She thought she needed a new look... whatcha think??  Super cute, huh???

Just designin' away!

We've been busy girls over here, just designing away.

Wanna see?

Well of course you do!

First of all, remember that contest we had a few weeks back? Well here is our winner:

Next we have a previous client who wanted a fresh look, and also recently added a new addition to their family. We've recently added a new addition to our blog line - Rotating Headers - so this option was a perfect addition to her blog package.

Click on the picture to see the live site.

(With rotating headers, each time someone visits your blog or refreshes the page, a new header is shown.)

And finally, a Twitter background for a recent blog client.

What? You didn't know we could dress up your boring Twitter background? Of course we can!!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Party like it's 1985!

Oh yes, we partied like it was 1985 - LITERALLY! And in case you don't recognize your fabulous Blogalicious girl, that's Staci, with her husband. LOL

Yesterday was Staci's 30th birthday and her BFF Lindsay and I threw her a 1980's roller skating bash.

Yeah, I said it. Roller skating. And we rocked it.

And no one broke anything. Well, my husband almost broke his tail bone, but he provided the best laugh of the night, so it was totally worth it.

Here are most of the guys - Lindsay's husband, Al; Staci's husband, Jason; my husband, Joey; and another friend of ours, Marcus.


And all the girls at the skating rink: Me, Lindsay, Amber (Marcus' wife), Staci, Stacie, and Sarah.


You can't see the cake very well in this picture, but it was a Rainbow Bright cake. And you can't see the cake very well because I wasn't taking a picture of the cake. I was taking a pic of Staci, in all her dancing glory.

God I love this girl!


Lindsay, Stac, and me. We had so much fun!! Thanks for joining me in the big 3-0! Now I'm not so lonely! Of course I do have about a year and half on you, but still... Now we just have to drag Lindsay along. LOL


And we can't forget the total COUGAR that had to have her pic with the birthday girl. This was fun-ny!!


Happy birthday Stac!! Hope you had a good one!

Steph

And the winner is....

After tossing everyone's name into a hat to choose the winner - I know, we're very technical around these parts! - we do in fact have ourselves a winner!

And that would be... Grand Pooba!

So Mrs. Pooba, if you'll send an email with your choice of designs, we'll get started!

Thanks to everyone who entered, blogged, and passed it along! And stay tuned for more fun and more blogging!

Have a great weekend!

Smarter than a 5th grader?

STEPH'S THOUGHTS:

That's the question.

Do you have to be smarter than a 5th grader to be governor? How about governor of South Carolina?

Obviously not.

Now, I'll admit, I didn't even know what the heck was going on with the governor of South Carolina until I turned on the news 2 nights ago. And by news, I mean The Comedy Channel. And by The Comedy Channel, I mean The Daily Show With Jon Stewert. After all, is there a more accurate place to get your news than The Comedy Channel?

I think not.

Anyway, that's when I found out that the state of South Carolina was unmanned! How were they surviving? Where was their governor? Lost on the Appalachian trail? Off in some unknown wilderness "clearing his head"?

No worries. Last night while watching Steven Colbert - my other nightly news reporter - answers were revealed. He had flown the coup to South America to have a tored love affair.

WOW! We were all certain he was still on that Appalachian hike!

I mean, really. If I'm going to have an affair (which let's just get it straight right now, I'M NOT!), I could certainly come up with a better lie than "I'm going hiking on the Appalachian trail" and then not come back for 5 days!

Really? Is that the best he could come us with?

STACI'S THOUGHTS:

Is this really news?? REALLY??

Do i really care how some dude in S. Carolina handles his marriage, no, no i do not. However, when steph told me this is what we were gonna chat about today I admit I had to read up on it because I had no idea the mountain man and the cheater were one in the same....i was quite entertained reading about it. But in all honesty it wasn't so much the "story" that intrigued me....it was what the moran who wrote it had to say.......

Let me explain.....

The title "SC governor's career launched by wife he betrayed" the first few paragraphs made total sense....and i was seriously bored....then the writer starts talking about "During Mark Sanford's first gubernatorial campaign " and "They are more thrifty than glamorous" because apparently she "shops at Wal-Mart and he's been known to wear a frayed blue blazer"

Seriously? First of all what in the heck does gubernatorial mean?? When i look at that word all i see is GUBER and one look at him and you know that's the truth.

And what are we watching a miss America pageant for couples "The Sanford's are more thrifty than glamorous....SHE shops at wal-mart while hes been known to wear a frayed blue blazer or two (as they circle the stage together) WHO GIVES A RATS what they are known to wear....we want the DIRT!!!

AND as if THAT wasn't enough....which clearly it is.....he goes on to say: "Jenny Sanford is a millionaire whose family fortune comes from the Skil Corp. power tool company. Through her husband's three U.S. House campaigns and first race for governor, she helped him pull a wagon he and the boys built on parade routes across the state."

Really?? SHE pulled a wagon across the state because her family are millionaires?? I don't get it??? She must be strong!

But i digress....because as i said before I DON'T CARE!!! People will make stupid decisions in their lives and in their marriage, who are we to judge??? Lets move on....to me the article i just read was MUCH more entertaining than the story.

Many thanks to that associated press writer who had nothing more to write about when it came to this situation he started pullin things outta his butt....you made me laugh!!

Till next time!!

Deep thoughts with The Blogalicious Girlz

HELLLLLOOOO bloooogosphere!!!

So Steph and I decided we don't blog NEAR enough on this here blog and since we have ALL KINDS of time on our hands we thought we should give our lil Blogalicious blog some love. AREN'T YOU EXCITED??? So from now on expect it more often.....lots of nonsense, and silliness!!

First topic of discussion JON AND KATE PLUS 8!!! Because we don't think it has been talked about enough.......


STACI'S THOUGHTS:

First of all, lets forget that Jon cheated on his wife with a teacher, and that Kate beats her children in public.....i wanna talk about THE HAIR!!

Seriously people, what was she thinking?

What was TLC thinking when they gave her the makeover......i mean you host the show "WHAT NOT TO WEAR" on your network....couldn't you have just called up Stacy and Clinton for a lil consult before you told her this was all good?!? This is the perfect picture, is it not?? I mean you can see it in all its glory.....Paris Hilton in the front Ryan Cabrera in the back......It's ludicrous I tell ya!

In closing I'd like to say, let's not spend so much time worrying about how their marriage pans out, lets someone please love her enough to guide her to a new stylist. That's what Jesus would do.

STEPH'S THOUGHTS:

Oh.My.Goodness.

How in the world am I supposed to type a blog when I'm trying to keep from peeing my pants after reading that?? I mean, forget the fact that I almost spit my precious white chocolate mocha (non-fat, with whip - yeah, I'm living on the edge) all over my computer screen when I saw Kate's hair.

I know, she's had that hair for a while now, but let me just confess, I've never seen an episode. But she looks like a porcupine! Why would they do that to this poor woman? One blog that I was reading yesterday referred to it as a reverse mullet. I didn't get it at the time. Now I do.

Unlike Staci, I will speak to the fact that evidently Kate beats her kids.

Um, no. She doesn't. She spanked her child. That is not beating, and if you think it is, I beg you to speak to a child who has actually been beaten by their parent. 'nuf said.

And their marriage? Well, at least now they won't be on TV since TLC has pulled it. At least someone has grown a brain.

Poor Staci. She should've known I couldn't let this controversial stuff go. What am I saying? She's known me way too long... she knew exactly where I would go.

So ladies, do tell. What do you think Jesus would do with Kate's hair?

Oh, and don't forget to enter the giveaway - only 3 days left - and tell your friends, for the love!!

More designs... Check 'em out!

We were so excited to release "Harmonic Life & Style" and "7 Clown Circus" last week.

Sally Miller is a Life and Style Coach and came to us looking for a web design to match her very specific business taste. We worked with her closely until we were able to accomplish exactly what she was looking for. We added a flash slide show to the home page to ease people into her site.

Click on the picture below to view the live site.


When everything was complete, Sally was extremely pleased with how her site turned out.


Angie came to us in the middle of a redesign on her home and decided her blog could use a makeover as well. She was ready to rid her blog of its former "scrapbooky" look in favor of a more modern, clean style.
