I honestly can't decide which one I love more - the fact that I now have the most beautiful royal blue starry background for my blog OR the new adorable Twitter button I have at the bottom right corner of my page! Did you also notice that I now have 3 sidebars on my page? I have 2 right sidebars and 1 left sidebar ... oh hang on did I say 3 sidebars? I meant SIX sidebars if you count the 3 big ones at the bottom of my page! That's right peeps, I now have the most beautiful and user-friendly blog template ever and it's all thanks to the talented, the bold and the beautiful LadyJava!
When I had my last makeover done by LJ sometime last year, I was already so pleased with the result. But now, with an even better template, look and feel, I am simply blown away! Mariuca has never looked this awesome and once again, the credit goes to LJ.
LJ really outdid herself this time and I am so thrilled with the outcome, 100% satisfied! I am truly, madly and deeply happy with the amazing job she did for Wishing on a Falling Star and I LOVE everything about my new look, especially my new starry background. It ties in perfectly with my Wishing on a Falling Star title! I also have more widget space to enjoy while everything is neatly organized in my sidebars exactly the way I like. The bigger widgets are placed down below since I have an additional 3 sidebars there, so they no longer stand out obtrusively in my right sidebars. What's more, I now have the flexibility to enjoy bigger sidebar page elements if I choose to. Overall, everything is just so eye-pleasing that I can't help but smile in glee each time I visit my own blog! :)
Undoubtedly, I made the perfect decision to go with LadyJava Creations for my new Mariuca makeover. So please, anyone out there who's even thinking of getting a makeover for your blog, I urge you to give LJ a visit! Worry not if you're HTML illiterate like yours truly; just leave it up to the pro! Visit LJ to get your makeover quotation from the master herself. Then come back and let me know if you're thrilled with your new look, the way I am with mine! :)
PS. THANKS A MILLION LadyJava! My new look totally makes up for you being MIA this week ha ha! Have a good trip and I'll see you back here in a week, love and hugs! :)

Now I think I know why LJ always beat me to FC. She designed your blog and then installed some script so that the moment you publish your new post, it doesnt appear to us and only she can see it. And then she FCs and gives the rest of us access!!! Rite Marzie and LJ? :-D
Ps. Cant see the twitter button ur talking about :-(

I just can't do Twitter, though... I know people who "tweet" every few minutes (probably the same type of people who did vacation slide shows in the 70s, just a younger version) and I update my Twitter about once every six months!

But in Mozilla this is not appearing at all as the blue banner starts right from top with no gap!!! :(

oh ya! i forgot abt that! i've read in LJL she balik spore mah. hehe.
Recent blog post: My 27th Birthday
hmm... *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* cannot be lar, marzie. Your buttons are suppose to be at the right bottom of your page (our screen) and it stays there whenever we scroll. Isn't it suppose to be like that?
Recent blog post: Have You Ever Tag
yes, marzie, i see them in your pic above. And now i realized what u meant when you said you can see them when you've a larger screen. Actually, it's because you have a wider screen and it means your light blue background is not blocking. That's why can see it when yr screen is wider. .. hmm.. i hope i make sense here. =-X
Recent blog post: Have You Ever Tag
wow, marzie, if you ever decided to change to lime green, i'll support u! it'll be so refreshing with the lime green.. but macam doesn't go with the title rite? hmm.. nvm, whatever colors WOAFS will be, i'll still be one of your no.1 fan! :) :*
Recent blog post: Have You Ever Tag
marzie, you're so clever lar with this commentluv feature. I see that you're using it to promote yr other posts as well. great idea, i've nvr thought of it. I only thought that it would be great to show off teh latest post. haha.
now, i am trying to do the same thing too but sometimes, i forgot to change the it. :P

Me too Mon! So happy to see Mariuca smiling away at ur EC, she jaga ur blog tonight okay? :)
Hola Grandy, thanks for checking out my new look! I love it and thanks to darling LJ of coz! :)
It does right Janice? I was still undecided on which background I wanted, then I found this starry one, but I didn’t like the shade of blue it came in, so got LJ to play around with the colours and now I love it! Starry starry Mariuca! So glad to hear u can view my buttons Jan and it loads faster too? Now that’s awesome, thanks dearie! :)
Hi Twinks! Oh thanks so much dear, I love my new look too! So happy to hear you love Mariuca more now YAY! And it’s of course even nicer to welcome u back here. Hugs! :)
Hi. I think I left a comment here but (again) I don´t see it, was I dreaming? Bloody pc, lol.
Well, the change looks cool! Now you have even more space for your widgets.
Just saw you logo in my EC inbox, I´m doing drops too.
Good Wednesday xx
Oh thanks so much Blanne, I love my sidebars too. Everything has their own little room now, so neat yeah? :)
Ha ha that’s okay Sandman, see Bobby’s comment here... It depends on ur screen reso, so maybe that’s why the buttons are appearing all haywire to you. Anyway, does this mean u are not going to get a makeover for ur blog? ;)
Mize! I think u forgot to comment for this post dearie ha ha, but thanks for commenting now, love ya! Glad u are loving my new look, me too! I love the fact that I have more widget space now, cause u know how much I love them widgets lol! :)
I didn’t drop for MPG yesterday, so tired and sleepy, so I gotta put her first on the list today, see ya in a bit! :)
Oh u must u must esp since she is in Sing now ECL! :)
ECL, I have so many things to put in my sidebar he he, dats why I love my new space area. So neat eh? :)
Really Jean? YAY, u know I didn’t even notice the reactions buttons until much later ha ha! ;)
One week balik kampong dat woman! :)
Yes Jean, dat’s right! My buttons are fixed at the bottom of my page, so even when u scroll down or up, you can see them down below, by right la. :)
Jean, I get you and did u see Bobby’s comment here? So it also depends on ur PC resolution, if u get to see the buttons. I can see my buttons perfectly, hope u can too sweetie. :)
Refreshing to da max right this lime green Jean? Just like the VAIO lappy which I LOVE he he! Oh thanks dearie, love u and ur support for WOAFS and MPG! HUGS! :)
Ha ha dat’s why la Jean! I like the CL feature cause we can promote our older posts. Some more can use them to suit our comments, like when I wished u Happy Birthday at ur blog, notice my recent post was my Happy Birthday Jean post at MPG? Suitable with my comment gitu he he ehe!! :)
Welcoming u say Blue? Oh that’s so good to hear, thanks! :)
Loads faster some more, best best! :)
He he janji the new one loads even faster, which is what I love to hear, thanks Blue! :)

Thanks so much Jackie, I am still admiring my new look, can’t get enough! ;)
Hi Marzie! Your new look is so COOL! I am loving it! So many columns but still looking so neat and clean! I wish I can have a blog overhaul too! I am a bit frustrated right now. Too many things can't be installed in my blog. The JS KIT won't work as a comment form. The Top Commenter Widget won't work as well. You can just imagine how frustrating that is!
Recent blog post: What's Up With Kuerdas?
YAY! Thanks Lainy, I LOVE the new Mariuca too woo hoo! I feel so happy every time I see my neat compartments he he!
Oh dear, which blog of yours is giving u trouble Lainy? I had the toughest time installing JS here, but I finally did it after almost a month of trying! I'll come visit u now, cheer you up! :* :* :*
Hi Marzie. Thanks for that very quick reply. yeah I was able to read your reply at Uncle CHe's blog. I actually sent an email to JS KIT, they replied promptly but they still haven't emailed me the solution to my problems. I trued umpteen of times importing my comments but it just won't work. Do you think your codes will work with mine?
Thanks for being so helpful...
Recent blog post: What's Up With Kuerdas?
Lainy, I had to wait for weeks too! But finally they helped me fix my problem so the wait was worth it in the end. Why not try importing ur comments again? Mine only worked after almost a month. I hope it works, I thought my situation was impossible and had almost given up and then JS came through for me yay!
As for the TC, I’m quite sure it will work on your blog, but I need ur email add. You can send it to me at EC if u like. :)
I am honored of course! But rite now I am sooo in love with this simple black theme on my blog because I spent a looong time tweaking an official blogspot theme! Maybe soon, and of course you know who I'll contact when I want to do that ;)
Recent blog post: Chp 224. The Women in my Life!
I'm loving your new layout Marzie! :)
I especially love the coolness of the color blue and it is much organized now... :)
Thanks so much, Marzie! You are such an angel! JS KIT promised they will resolve the issue at the next opportunity. I will heed your advice.. I will try and try until I succeed, hehe! My email add is eleyn29[at][yahoo]dotcom...
Thanks so much for all your help, Marzie!

Did you do it yourself MArzie? and how did you make that buttons for twitter
