better still

but really, I'm cheating by stripping away elements from a provided template. I want to learn to build from scratch. Must change some colors.

better

but what is that strange rectangle growing up from the bottom of the screen? And how do I change colors and backgrounds? Basically, I've been stripping away code from one of the templates blogger supplies.

slight progress

got the header centered but I can't make it bleed

can't figure out the html to get the posts wide and central

help

still messing with it

i am using this blog as a way to learn customization on blogger before i mess with Farmboyz. The margin is still a mystery

not good

this is not at all what I had in mind. The beach pic should cover the whole screen as background. Why is the header shoved off to one side? Who has time for all this?
