NEW. "Life in Letters"

I have NEWS! For all of you 23 people that follow me, (and those others that check my blog constantly but don't follow me) "Just Trust Me" is changing. It is now officially "Life In Letters". Why? Cause I simply fell in love with that title. It flows so nicely, alliteration and all. It also totally explains my blog. I'm super excited about my new title! But don't worry, it's still the same old me that you know and love. This also won't be a thing that happens often. So, sit back! Relax! And enjoy the new "Life in Letters".

Can I Go on a Little Rant?

I usually try to avoid this kind of post at all costs, but I'm going to do it anyway. The whole post won't be me complaining, only part of it. So sorry. I recently saw this status on Facebook. You know me, I don't like social networking very much, I just use it as a stalking mechanism. But this status kind of hit close to home, and this is all I'm gonna say about it.
"You wanna know whats the worst? Thinking you have a chance with someone, then realizing you most likely don't. Wasting your time on someone. Wasting your time thinking about them every moment of the day. Wasting your time waiting on them to text you. Wondering if they feel the same way as you, wondering if they even think about you too. When in reality, they aren't. While you're making then your priority, they're making you an option. Story of my life."
 MOVING ON to a happier topic. Sorry about that nasty emotional start to a post.
Man, does this describe me or what?! I think food will be my valentine this year. It never seems to let me down. Now I know why people are morbidly obese.. Oh well. It happens to the best of us. 
I'm truly sorry about the lack of posting lately! We performed our show last week, which was so much fun and super successful. Woah, I have a life?! PSYCHE. Hello Dolly rehearsals start next week. Silly Bekah, thinking you won't be busy.. 
There will soon be posts of greater importance! Just bear with me..

Just Trust Me..

How to Make a Grab Button

Grab buttons are very useful little things. Essentially, they're an ad promoting your bloggy blog. You can see mine on the left sidebar! All you have to do is copy and paste the code below onto your sidebar and you'd be my friend. Well, I'd still be your friend if you didn't. I'd really appreciate it if you did though.. Never mind. If you're curious as to how to make one of these handy boogers, you're in the right place! Let's begin.

1. You're going to want to make or choose an image to use as your button. The ideal size would be 200x200 pixels so it would fit on the average sidebar. You can make this image with GIMP or pixlr. It's not hard, I promise! Even just a plain colored canvas with your blog name will look good. Remember, simple is good!

2. Upload your image to a photo hosting website. I usually use photobucket, but you can pick whatever you want!

3. Open another tab and pull up your blogger account. Get to the page elements page, and click on "Add a Gadget." Then select "HTML/Javascript." Copy and paste this code to it:

<img src="http://YOURBUTTONLOCATION.jpg" /> <br /> <textarea style="text-align:center" rows="4" cols="22"><a border="0" href="http://YOURBLOGADDRESS.com" target="_blank"><img src=http://YOURBUTTONLOCATION.jpg></a></textarea>

4. Go back to your photo hosting site and find your button. Copy and paste the URL or direct link in both places where it says "YOURBUTTONLOCATION". 

5. Put your blog address in where it says, well, "YOURBLOGADDRESS."

6. If you want the box below your button where the code is to be smaller or larger, you can change the 4 (rows) and 22 (columns) to whatever numbers you need. This isn't necessary, but I thought I'd mention it to you just in case.

TADA! It's that easy! If you need any help, I'd be glad to assist you. Questions? Email me or leave a comment down below! Hope you found this useful.
