Blogger - The Blog Beautician - How to Customize the Look of Your Blog

Hola Estudiantes,

I hope you are having as much fun developing your blog as I am.

Today I encourage you to create a personal touch for the look of your blog.

Here is what I suggest. Customize the template of your blog: 

I. Choose a theme to use

  1. Sign in to Blogger Links to an external site..
  2. In the top left, click the Down arrow Down arrow.
  3. Click a blog to update.
  4. In the left menu, click Theme.
  5. Click the theme you want to use.
  6. In the bottom right, click Apply to Blog.
  7. Optional: To save a copy of your theme, in the top right, click Backup/Restore and then Download theme

II. Follow the Blog Beautician

1. Go to her Youtube site: Blogger For Total Newbies | Template Editor and Features Walkthrough Links to an external site.Blogger For Total Newbies | Template Editor and Features Walkthrough2. See how she brings her blog to life.

Jay's Note: Work at your own pace.  Choose 1-2 goals to work on at each sitting.

For Example:  I just learned how to enhance Mecha's homepage for her blog "Pearls of Wisdom."

a. I learned how to change the color and font of the blog title

b. I learned how to create a blog description- It looks like very professional item to have it running across the page below your title.

c. I learned how to bring in pearls into the background - it's not that hard!

This is going to be great.  You will see. 

Paz,

JL
