Book blogger resources: how i revamped the quiet pond (and my tips for your next revamp!)

Recently, I revamped The Quiet Pond and gave my book blog a fresh look. In the past, my revamps were always a haphazard process – I changed things here and there and just hoped for the best. With this revamp, however, I took the time to plan my revamp – and I’ve never felt so happy with how my book blog looks.

To be honest, I am really proud of this recent revamp. I put a lot of thought, care, and effort into this revamp, and I’m hoping that I won’t have to revamp for another two years (Did you know that The Quiet Pond is two years old and has already been through three revamps?!)

I wanted to do a ‘behind the scenes’ sort of post, so today, I’m sharing with you all my process The Quiet Pond‘s latest revamp – one that I’m really proud of! – and also, along the way, offer some advice for those of you out there who want to revamp their blogs as well.

“Friend!” calls a familiar voice. “Come over here!”

I have always endeavoured to uphold The Quiet Pond to be a safe and soft place for anyone that accepts and celebrates people for who they are. As the protests sweep across the US, and have now extended across the world, I have stated on Twitter that The Quiet Pond supports Black Lives Matter but I also wanted to make it unequivocally clear here, at the Pond, that The Quiet Pond supports, and will always support, Black Lives Matter.
