6. Changing the format/layout of your blog

If you'd like to change how your blog looks, you must go into the format and layout settings.

To do this, click on the "Customize" button in the top-right corner of the page when viewing your blog.

OR

Click on "Layout" next to your blog listing when on the main dashboard.



There will be a row toward the top of the screen with more specific sections to choose from. This row contains:

• Page Elements


• Fonts and Colours


• Edit HTML


• Pick New Template

While trying to change some of the settings in "Page Elements" and "Fonts and Colours", I was unable to do so (due to the settings on my Internet Explorer). You may, or may not be able to use these features.

"Edit HTML" should probably be avoided unless you are very confident you can edit HTML code.

However, the "Pick New Template" option is a useful one if the other options are unavailable to you. This lets you change the template of your blog, and there are many templates to choose from. Don't worry about losing any posts you've made either, when you change templates, everything will be the same except how your blog looks, and if you don't like the change, you can always change back.
