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?

test

this is a test post to see how the template works
