I know many of you have ( hopefully* ) heard about the lovely blog Pugly Pixel … but just in case you haven’t, I knew I needed to share it all with you! Katrina is a web design enthusiast. She shares tutorials, resources, and SO much more. With that said – this is a definite must bookmark blog for anyone who doesn’t necessarily have a design background, but wants their blog to look great & professional. Heck, even with a design degree – I still stop by fairly often as there is so much inspiration to be found, too.
The best part?? Katrina has a Blog Bling Kit where you can purchase various photoshop goodies ( templates, brushes, etc. ) at a very affordable price. It’s an extremely easy way to boost your online presence in the right direction. Seriously though, please do check it out. I promise it’s worth it.


Love Katrina’s blog!! Her site is TOTALLY awesome all the time.
She has a WONDERFUL site! Her tutorials have helped me muddle through more than once :)
oh! I love Katrina! I buy in every month for the $5 membership and I have used her tutorials to learn my way through a little CSS!
I could use a little extra help! I’ll check her out! =) Thanks!
I definitely need this help, this is incredible! Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to school for design and/or coding and am self taught. I have also been using my personal blog as a little space to practice. Right now it’s a mess but I’m slowing, very slowly, figuring things out and LOVE to find new sites that share some information and tips.
Thank you so much for sharing!
i think this saved me about 1000 hours…
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Oooh blog bling. Shiny!
I love her site! She has some great tutorials and freebies! :)
Love Pugly Pixel and LOVE the Blog Bling Kit :)
What a great resource! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m working on my new self-hosted blog now and have NO design background; I’m a nurse by profession. I need all the help I can get!
I LOVE Katrina’s work and how she actually shares it with the world instead of keeping it all in. Her tutorials have really aided my blogging experience since June and I wish there were more blogs like hers out there.
Best. Tip. Ever !!
I love Pugly Pixel, I’ve so enjoyed seeing it grow over the years.
I Love this blog, I went a bit nuts the last time I got a prem membership and downloaded e v e r y t h i n g in site.
Her tutorials are always so helpful and simple to follow as well! Great blogger :D
hey breanna, thanks so much for the kind mention! i admire you so much and getting mentioned on your site means a lot to me. THANK YOU!
Katrina – you are SO welcome. I love your aesthetic and everything you share …. it’s such a great resource. :) Take care!!
Pugly Pixels tutorials were very important for me during the designing process of my blog. Katrina literally helped me very much. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to give a try with a self-blog-design.
