Hey guys!! I am busily getting ready for the impending school year, students return next Wednesday.  I’m up to my eyeballs in lesson plans and such, so for the next few days, look for a few different types of posts.  We’ll check out some links online, revisit a few older posts, and maybe have another post from my awesome CT Leader Laura (wasn’t yesterday’s the best?!).  I hope you are enjoying the last few days of August, and are as ready to jump into fall as I am.

I figured one of the best ways to learn clustering for your layouts, is to learn from the best.  I am so lucky to have Laura, emmasmommy in most of the forums, as my CT Leader.  Not only is she a great CT member and Leader, but she’s also a master at clustering.  Today, I asked Laura to talk you through her process as she works on a layout.  Read about Laura’s process after the jump.

Have you ever looked at a layout and thought, “Man, I wish I could cluster like that”?  If you’re anything like me, you browse the gallery and find tons of examples of clustering that is seems effortless, and wonder how they do it without making it look like the elements are just thrown on the page.  You may be left wondering, how can I arrange elements on my page to create dynamic clustering and still have some order?
