Linky Love: Free Blogger Backgrounds

Today's Linky Love is devoted to all of those free background websites floating around on the world wide web. So many people use Cutest Blog on the Block. Don't get me wrong - I'm not knocking them. It's just that there are so many other options out there and I love to see variety! Here is what I have found while browsing:

Adori Graphics
Aqua Poppy Designs
Cutest Blog on the Block
Delightful Dots
Frosted Blogs
Hot Bliggity Blog
Gisele Jacquenod & Birdie
Key Lime Blog Design
Knotty Moose Designs
Leelou Blogs
My Blog Makeover
My Style Backgrounds
One Cute Blog
Pyzam
Scrap-E-Blog
Scrappin Blogs
Shabby Blogs
Simply Fabulous
Smitten Blog Designs
Template-Mama
The Background Fairy

Of course, all of these are for Blogger blogs. I know nothing about Wordpress or Typepad or other formats.

Me (aka Danielle) said...: Ya know Erin Girl..you are really starting to scare me. Seriously. Okay, not really. BUT, just yesterday (or it could have been the day before..but that is of no importance) I thought to myself "Self, you need to find some more free background design sites." Yup, I did. And then Today..there ya go..answering the questions and demands of my internal dialogue. Scary! But I appreciate it!!

Quick..can you tell me what I'm thinking about NOW?; June 12, 2009 at 9:58 AM
Whitney R said...: I would have loved this months ago! I looked and looked for backgrounds before I made my own. I'll remember this post to refer my friends to when they are looking for a new one. Thanks!; June 12, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Jan said...: Those were some great sites. I loved that you did that for us all. Especially when you want to change sometimes. You are good at the linky love thing Erin.; June 12, 2009 at 10:45 AM

Kristina P. said...: I used to use Cutest Blog on the Block all the time. I tried Pyzam, but I was too stupid to figure out how to install it.; June 12, 2009 at 12:09 PM
Lee said...: Technically, I thank those sites because I steal their codes and edit them for myself.

But I can't do html, and they can.; June 12, 2009 at 1:01 PM

rachel said...: Thank you Erin! This is so cool to have these all in one place. I love to change up my backgrounds so I will have to check them out! And have fun wherever you are :); June 12, 2009 at 2:52 PM
Kimberly Vanderhorst said...: Hee hee, you are too cute. As evidenced by the fact that I change my template every fews or so, I obviously have TOO easy of a time finding Wordpress resources. Oi. Thanks for the tip o'th'hat though!; June 12, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Unknown said...: I love seeing the blogs people create and the cool backgrounds out there. I am completely addicted to changing mine as often as I can!; June 12, 2009 at 4:31 PM
Laurie said...: I don't like changing mine very often. (Actually, not at all.) I use Blogger, but liked a Wordpress background. So my sweet husband spent like 6 hours re-writing all my Blogger codes. It'd be nice if Blogger and WordPress were a little more compatible. :) But I love my background now! It's a keeper.; June 12, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Jessica G. said...: I'm a huge fan of Cutest Blog on the Block. But what I would really love is a new blog header...got any links for ducks and cows? ;)

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
