Blog troubles

Good Morning,
I just wanted to let everyone who follows know that I have been working on changing up a few things on my blog. As you may have noticed my blog button says the photo/image has been removed. The code actually still works, only the photo is gone. I am trying to make a new button and photobucket is giving me some trouble. I have tried to resize the pic but it turns it into a black and white jumble of blah. It is totally distorting the photo.  I'm also working on starting out with a new meme(book review), but also trying to make a button for it is giving me trouble. I cannot get the font right!! When I get it all designed the way I want it to look and go to resize it, same thing. It is taking off the font and shifting the image.
 So, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on why things are a little slow on my blog lately. I have been busy reading some great books. Hopefully, I will get to share them with you soon. Keep checking back! Thank you all for sticking it outwith me.
Happy Blogging!
