I do the designs of most of my blogs. Like this one. I just had a template made and then I did the overall design. I actually love the design especially the header. If you haven’t noticed it yet, it has a woman lying on a bed of flowers. Perfect for this blog’s theme which is about women.

But when I drop (Entre)cards, I see some blogs that have more beautiful designs. When I do, I feel the need to redesign yet again. There are just so many lovely blog designs out there that sometimes I don’t know what I actually want anymore *sheepish grin*

Hey guys!

Can I ask a favor from you? Can you help me get my blog ranking back? Can you link me up to your blog so I can get a boost?

I would really appreciate all the help I can get. Let me know if you’ve linked me up and I will do the same right away. Rest assured that we will both benefit from the link exchange. Your blog will get a ranking boost as soon as I get mine back.

Thank you!

Ode to Adrienne is a blog about women. It’s supposed to be an ode to the woman in me, the one that was just there and waiting for something big to happen. But then I realized that would be very limited. Thus, I made it about women I admire, women in general.

I am not a feminist. But I do hate the way women are treated by some people. I specifically hate those ads using women to advertise their products or services and the image used has nothing to do with what’s being sold itself! Entrecard has so much of that. I will write about this issue more on this blog. I will also write about the remarkable women of 2009 for me.

Happy New Year!!!

Yay! Finally! The theme is already what I wanted it to be

Thank you, Anne of PinkFab.info!

It was so easy to deal with her. You just tell her what you want done and she’ll do it. So if you are thinking of getting a custom theme for your blog, go to Anne and she can do it for sure.

I had a custom theme made for this blog. It was done already but I didn’t like the sidebar so I am having it changed a bit. I am hoping to get it before the weekend so I can unveil the new theme by November 1st. Hoping…

Anyway, I am not yet decided as to revamping the whole blog. I just might. I am not yet done thinking about the blog topics but I want it solid by the time I put up the new theme.

For now, I apologize for the sporadic updates. I am really not in my “fighting” mood for weeks. I hope I will be when I put up the new theme soon.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I’ve been unwell for the past few days. I don’t like this feeling and to banish it, I am doing little things that I know will motivate me and make me feel better. Like tinkering with this blog’s stylesheet. I changed the background and some link colors here. I want a brighter layout thus the changes. I hope you like it, too.

I am thinking of ways on how to get back my ranking here. Probably tinker with the meta tags or something. I am not really knowledgeable when it comes to seo but hopefully, I can ask around from well-meaning friends and get some insights to how my pr will be back. And hopefully, Mr. G will be good enough to give it back.

See, I am feeling much better now!

Happy Friday!

I have decided to change my old theme for the simple reason that I would like to try something new. I love my old header, in fact, I may just use it again one of these days. But I just feel like a new layout will bring in the productivity that is eluding me for some time now

And it did!

May we all have a productive week ahead.

As usual, I took a brief hiatus and is now back to give you more posts about some great women I know. I am sorry for not posting that much because I was busy with other things. Anyway, expect more posts from me and the continuation of Heart and Soul.

Belated Valentine’s Day to all and…

Happy Blogging!

Before anything else, pardon my absence for the past few days. I was busy with holiday shopping. In our family, even when we are short in money, we normally make Christmas special, giving each other even small tokens. Experiencing two deaths in the family can really make you appreciate all the little things in life. It will also make you want to celebrate the important occasions, even spending the whole day together and eating a special dinner.

So anyway, that’s the reason for my brief awol in the blogging world. I have a tag coming up and some more posts scheduled in the next few days.

Thanks for still visiting.

I am looking for bloggers who would like to exchange links with me. If you are the one I am looking for, please leave a comment here and I will gladly exchange links with you

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Now I am back to regular posting. I have scheduled a number of posts already so you would not have to come back to the same post again and again. I apologize for the lull here but it was unavoidable as I have too many things on my plate at the same time. Blogging has to take a backseat otherwise I would crumple from the weight of all the tasks I had to do.

After completing most of the tasks, I find myself with a bit of time for blogging. I will be taking advantage of it to do more posts for you my readers and visitors.

Now I know what I will definitely write in this blog. Women! Women that struck an interest in me. It could either be negative or positive. So wait for the next couple of posts. We might have the same opinion on the woman I will be writing about.

When I bought this domain, all I have in mind is that, I will make this all about women. Strong women, brave women, women who have shown great character. These are women I know personally. Or have come to know here in the blogosphere.

But I have yet to start on it. I have yet to start putting down into writing what I have in mind.

Well, I will be scheduling a number of posts about women I know. Some I will name, others will remain in the shadows.

This is my Ode to Adrienne, a woman of substance.
