For week 8 of the Student Blogging Challenge we had to do something festive one of the options was to decorate your blog for the season and I chose to do that. In my house we celebrate Christmas and it’s nearing that time of year so I dressed my blog up for Christmas.
As you can probably tell I changed the look of my blog a lot. I did this by changing the theme of the blog, here’s how to change the theme
I also added a widget called Christmas Countdown to Countdown the days till Christmas. Check out this link for “How to add a text widget.” However, instead of adding a text widget, add a Custom HTML widget.
If you want the counter I have here is the HTML:
<div align=”center” style=”margin: 15px 0px 0px;”><noscript><div align=”center” style=”width: 140px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);”><a href=”http://mycountdown.org/Holiday/Christmas/” style=”text-decoration: none; font-size: inherit; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);”>Christmas Countdown</a></div></noscript><script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://mycountdown.org/countdown.php?cp2_Hex=FFFFFF&cp1_Hex=FF0000&img=1&hbg=&fwdt=320&lab=1&ocd=Christmas&text1=Christmas&text2=Christmas&group=Holiday&countdown=Christmas&widget_number=3003&event_time=1545698340&timezone=UTC”></script></div>
Comment want you celebrate or your favourite thing about winter.
Hi Fraser,
Well done with your decorating! I’m going to share your post in the week 9 STUBC post which I will publish tomorrow. I bet other students will love to see what you have done.
It’s funny that you asked for comments about winter. Here is Australia Christmas is in summer so it’s quite hot. The children like to play outside or go to the beach. Do you usually have snow around Christmas time?
Best wishes,
Kathleen Morris
Hi Kathleen,
Thanks so much. No we don’t usually get snow, I’m from Vancouver so it’s always raining I wish it would snow though.

Snow would probably be a bit more fun than rain. Although I can imagine if you had a lot of snow you would get sick of it.
Thanks for replying! 🙂
