Customising+your+blog

Follow these instructions to make your personal blog look a little more interesting. Before you start thinking about what you want it to look like, you need to decide what you are going to use it for. We are primarily using them to get used to posting and showing off some of your excellent work.

Dashboard - When you want to make edits to your blog, whether it's comments, widgets or the general look, you will do it on the dashboard.

First thing you want to do is change the ** APPEARANCE ** of your blog. That means you will change the header (the title bar at the top), how many columns your blog has and where they appear on the screen. Be careful that you don't try to fit too many things on your page, it can tend to look cluttered and confusing. If you choose a theme with a customisable header, you can use any picture (that you have the right to use) for the header. Now that you have the theme all worked out you're ready to write your first post. This post is to tell the readers who you are and some of the things that you are interested in. Also, what things do you want to include on your blog? Please read the following information about blogging. [|Bloggin 10 Commandments] Once you have read the commandments mention the one that you think is most important in your first post.

Have fun with the two tasks and good luck!
