Tips for starting a blog?

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS
I know no html etc. I have started a blog or two at blogger but was looking for a template or a way to add a photo to the title instead of the lame text they offer and also how to change bacground colors.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to get free templates, have some cool tamplates you'd like to share or have any advice in general?

I did a search in the forum and found nothing, hope I'm not duplicating a post.

Re: Tips for starting a blog?

Ok. If you are just going to be formatting the text - then trust me nothing will beat CSS (not counter strike source - cascading style sheets). CSS is VERY simple to learn and there are many examples on the web on how to use it.

CSS will allow for the seperation of visual code from html - as well as giving you control over a template. What is meant by this?

Ok if you wanted to change the back ground colour of your blog or change the font in anyway - normally in HTML you'd be searching thru your code until you found the right tag and then you would have to change it.

With CSS you only change 1 line of code and bang its applied to every HTML page that uses that CSS code.

For a learning curve of ~5minutes you will save yourself alot of time.
