OK.

I’m thinking about redesigning the old Brick House blog to something with a real url and a better design with BIGGER pictures.

I am not html savvy and barely css literate. I can’t totally code my own site, but I would like to expand and have a little more control over the design, navigation and capability’s of this here blog. I think it’s time for an upgrade of sorts to coincide with the relaunching of my vintage store…which I also want to move out of etsy…

Most of this stuff I find very intimidating and extremely perplexing. Please don’t judge me for sounding like a total amateur nerd (because I am) but I’m pleading for some fellow blogger advice:

What platform have you used and loved in terms of customizing your site?

Should I move to another service like WordPress or Tumblr?

Did you use particular themes and customize them or did you build your own layout on another program like Dreamweaver or Rapidweaver?

Any help would be SO very appreciated. I should probably go take a class at the community college or something.
