Blog Topic #4

I spent at least 15 minutes lost and amazed by all the special things you can do to the design layout.  At first I didn't think that I would have many customization choices, but once you find the right area you can pretty much do whatever you want.  I first started off by going to the Design Tab on the right hand side.  There I added some text to my header describing what this blog would be about.  Then I clicked on the edit HTML and just was overwhelmed with the coding there.  I wanted to hand code some changes, which I tried but after a few failed attempts to even do anything, I reverted back to a default layout.  I went back to the design tab and this time chose Template Designer.  Then i fiddled with background colors, background images when I finally decided on a cool template with rain and a mountain in the background.  Then when I found the advanced option in the Template Designer I went off and just pretty much made all my colors on the page as bright as could be.  It was fun looking but I was not really feeling it.  I think I got my page looking better for now but I'm sure I will be making some more changes soon!
