Cute "BAGGU" from Uber Days

I have a couple of I'm looking forward to read every day. Uber Days by Kaori in Los Angeles is one of my favorites. Though I don't write too much of my personal life here on my blog, it's really enjoyable to see how she tells stories including her personal life. Also her blogs are full of her daily encounters with local food spots, creative outings & activities that give me some inspirations for activities in LA. 


Kaori recently had a present giveaway event on her blog to celebrate her 2nd anniversary of her blog and 3rd anniversary of her relationship with her husband. I participated in the event and to my surprise, I won the prize! (Here is a blog post of Kaori when she announced winner.) The prize was a stylish shopping bag from BAGGU(This is how we pronounce "bag" in Japanese so it makes me giggle.) I didn't expect to win so I was really excited. 


When the package arrived, I was acting kind of like a kid. When I opened the envelope, colorful confetti came out of the envelope! What a cool staging : ) Kaori san, thank you so much for the fun event and the cute shopping bag! As I promise, I will bring this bag when I shop at Trader Joe's : ) 


I was impressed by the power of blog and internet through this experience. I was able to connect to one of the bloggers I like through this experience. Happy Blogging!

New Ways to Browse Blogger : Dynamic Views / ブロガーページの新しいデザイン：ダイナミックビュー

Blogger has added a new feature "Dynamic Views" and I tried it on my blog. I get to choose how my page to look and interact with viewers from 7 different design choices. So far I like more visual based presentations like "Flipcard" and "Mosaic" since one of the focuses of my blog is to tell stories using visually attractive images.

As one user, it's impressive how easy it is to change the look and feel of the same website by a click of a button. Content finds its own way to situate itself regardless. Beautiful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

私の使用しているブログサイト、ブロガーが新しく、”ダイナミックビュー”という機能を追加したので、自分のブログで試してみました。

７種類のレイアウトデザインから、どういう見た目でどういう風に使ってもらいたいかのプレゼンテーションを選ぶことが出来ます。私のブログで心がけているひとつの事として、魅力的なビジュアルイメージを使用してストーリーを伝えるということなので、”フリップカード”や”モザイク”というデザインスタイルが合っているかなと思いました。

一個人ユーザーとして使ってみての感想ですが、同じコンテンツを、ただ一回のボタンクリックで違うレイアウトにどんどん変えていけるという事が、簡単で、楽しく感じました。 CSSのパワーは凄いそして美しい！
