Sarah is a circus-performing freelance designer who never fails to make me feel incredibly boring. She's adorable and creative and super smart, and this week she's giving away a copy of her e-book, Nerd Party: Clever Coding and Design Tips for Busy Bloggers, to one Freckled Italian reader.

A word from Sarah:

"Your design is the first thing people see when they visit your website. Before they read a word, before they look at your photos, before they know anything about you. Through this book I hope to help you define your style as a blogger, share your message, your business or your passion, and encourage your readers to stick around and participate.

It includes 10 brand new tutorials for Blogger and WordPress, tools for creating a user-friendly design, instructions for altering your template’s layout, tips for building professional looking photo galleries, ideas for using analytics to aid in your blog design, instructions on unlocking the power of Google’s Keyword Tool, and more!

This book is perfect for the blogger who has basic coding knowledge and is looking to add new design elements or change their layout of their site."

First of all, I have to thank you all so much for your sweet comments regarding our engagement. 

You sure know how to make a person feel special. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

With all the exciting things going on here, I think I'm going to be blogging up a little storm over the next few months. So if you've ever been thinking about placing an ad on Freckled Italian, now's the time! I have a few spots open (it is simultaneously frustrating and cool to always be telling you that the large space is already reserved for next month), so check out my stats and rates right here--you can place an ad from that page, too. 

And remember that you can reserve a spot if none are available to start immediately. Passionfruit is cool like that. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to shoot me an email. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Do you have a blog, band, or business that you'd like to promote?

I'd love to work with you this month!

The featured ad has already been booked for May, but there are plenty of regular spaces to go around.

(Remember that with Passionfruit, you can book any space at any time, so if you're holding out for the featured space, go ahead and reserve it now!)

Check out my stats/rates and book your spot here.

And as always, please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
