&lt;h3&gt;About the Designer&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="FONT-SIZE: 85%; COLOR: #000000" width="470"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I'm Michelle, a 24 year old professional who blogs under the name of Kora Bruce in her spare time. I've always been in love with design - it started with fashion design and slowly crept into every aspect of my life (even at work where I design our office forms and invitations for our corporate events!) I just have a "thing" for aesthetics. Color schemes and clean designs make me happy! I began blog design quite recently when I began my very own blog, Dixie Lust. I couldn't rest until I was content with my blog's look - it was days of constant tweaking as I taught myself coding and the ins and outs of Blogger. I'm constantly learning new and exciting things when it comes to blog design. And that sort of brings us to the now. I've started this blog design service as a creative outlet - a means of getting all my pent up creative energy out while simultaneously challenging myself and learning new things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 align="left"&gt;About the Name&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="FONT-SIZE: 85%; COLOR: #000000" width="470"&gt;  &lt;center&gt;While the name Blog Lust is a play on my personal site Dixie Lust, it's also become a way of describing the feeling you get when scrolling through a blog that's got a cute, sleek, pulled-together design while your blog sits there in all it's plain - jane "Minima" pity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3588631645662457378-5251281647402537004?l=bloglust-blogdesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3588631645662457378/posts/default/5251281647402537004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3588631645662457378/posts/default/5251281647402537004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloglust-blogdesign.blogspot.com/2009/09/about-me.html' title='About Me'/><author><name>Kora Bruce [Dixie Lust]</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08928597321490094483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pik03WUVfYM/Te5iAvBeMOI/AAAAAAAACs8/3lXosqNeDh8/s220/avatar.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lRFsMxnpOHo/StI9O0xw15I/AAAAAAAABXc/d5i36UeM2Y0/s72-c/bloglustaboutphoto.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3588631645662457378.post-1981313960430705436</id><published>2009-09-08T12:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T15:06:10.751-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Frequently Asked Questions</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;h3 align="left"&gt;Q: How does the design process with Blog Lust work?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A &lt;/strong&gt;First send me an e-mail! There's no need to know exactly what you want. Lets get chatting. I promise I don't bite! Just shoot me a line and we'll discuss your needs and figure out which package and elements are right for you. If one of my three existing packages doesn't suit your needs, we can work on creating one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Once we discuss what will work for you, I'll send an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;in depth&lt;/span&gt; design questionnaire where I'll ask about your design preferences, color tastes, and blog theme. I'll use this questionnaire as the basis of your custom design. I will also at this time ask you to create a P&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;hotoBucket&lt;/span&gt; account and/ or a Webs account (directions will be provided) and to provide &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;login&lt;/span&gt; information on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;questionnaire&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;If I'm working on a blog package, I will first create the header and send it to you over for approval. This is the time to give me any feedback and to make any changes if you want them. Once the header is approved, the rest of the package will be created. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;When it comes time for installation, I will have you set me up as a contributor on your blogger account (directions will be provided) and I will set everything (background, header, html coding etc.) up all at once. At this time, I will post a message so that anyone visiting your blog will know that it is undergoing a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;face lift&lt;/span&gt; and they should check back soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Q: How do I pay for my custom design?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; All payment will be done through Pay-Pal. I will send you an invoice at the time payment is due.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Q: When do I pay for my custom designs?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; When ordering "Bits &amp;amp; Pieces," payment is due before I begin the design. Once we discuss your needs, I will invoice you for the requested services. I will begin the design as soon as payment is received.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When ordering Blog Packages, a $10 deposit is required. As with the "Bits &amp;amp; Pieces," I will invoice you for the deposit after we discuss your services. I will then design a header and e-mail it to you for approval. Once the header design is approved, I will invoice you for the remaining amount due. The rest of the designs will be started as soon as payment is received.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Q: How long does the design &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;process&lt;/span&gt; take?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; The time period varies depending on two factors: 1. How many people are scheduled ahead of you 2. The services you request. The longest a package should take is 2 weeks, but you can help speed up the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;process&lt;/span&gt; by responding to my e-mails and providing payment promptly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Q: How long does installation take?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Installation&lt;/span&gt; can take anywhere between 10 minutes ad 2 hours depending on the elements being installed. You will be given an estimate right before installation begins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;hr style="FONT-SIZE: 85%; COLOR: #000000" width="470"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Have a question that I haven't answered here? &lt;a href="mailto:kora.bruce@gmail.com"&gt;E-Mail &lt;/a&gt;me and I'll be sure to answer right away! &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3588631645662457378-1981313960430705436?l=bloglust-blogdesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3588631645662457378/posts/default/1981313960430705436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3588631645662457378/posts/default/1981313960430705436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloglust-blogdesign.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-do-i-begin-design-process-with-blog.html' title='Frequently Asked Questions'/><author><name>Kora Bruce [Dixie Lust]</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08928597321490094483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pik03WUVfYM/Te5iAvBeMOI/AAAAAAAACs8/3lXosqNeDh8/s220/avatar.png'/></author></entry></feed>
