Portrait of a Girl in pencil

Today I am featuring art by Gina Nicole. Gina has been working on her drawing skills since she could hold a crayon. I should know because I am her mother. Needless to say I am very proud of her work, and happy to feature her and her art on ArtMusing.

New Blog Carnival Coming Soon

My life got very hectic but I have found time to write a new post. I just want to announce that a new Blog Carnival will be coming this Friday, March 13. I like my editions to have interesting dates. This issue is also close to St. Patrick's Day and the Vernal Equinox (first day of Spring). As usual the art and travel postings are by bloggers from around the world. Thanks to my recent contributors for sharing their adventures on Art Musing.

What Do You Think About the Gadget Page Element

Personally, I do not understand the rationale behind eliminating the Elements part of the Template Layout and replacing it with the Gadget thing. How does one now add html to the sidebars. I really do not want to add Google Gadgets everywhere. I hope Blogger goes back to the previous Layout Settings format. This new idea may cause a thorn in the side!

I Have Good News, and I Have Bad News!

The good news is that I have finally converted my blog to a 3 column template! Ya!

The bad news is that my right column sunk to the bottom! If anyone knows how to fix this please post it in the comment section.

In the meantime, I will keep working on it!

At least I didn't lose any content, and technically it is 3 columns!!!
