Blog Template

Blog Template edited.
After going and getting new templates for another blog I have I decided to see if I could edit the html code on templates I already use ....... so i taught myself a bit of html code and css code over the last couple of days.  I then put what I learned to use on the page that I have my privacy policy on, and changed it from a two column template to a four column template ............ check it out at http://privacypolicy-myblogs.blogspot.com 

Next I hope to change all the  colour schemes and borders and totally change how it looks.  And maybe then start creating new template layouts.

Blog Navigation bar

Nice one just sorted out the problem with the navigation bar not showing on the new template.  If you are also having this problem with templates from websites that make them maybe this might work for you too.

go into layout, edit html and scroll down until you come to navigation bar ..... then delete the lines 

visibility: hidden; 
display: none;
then hit save and hopefully you are sorted.
It worked on a new blog im setting up

Blog Templates

Being searching the web for blog templates hoping to find a better one than the one i use on this blog, found a few sites that do lovely templates but getting them to work has been tough but I did find one I really like and I'm testing it out on a new blog page its going well and makes the blog look more professional.  But there is a couple of problems to sort out ....... like the navigation bar above the blog for signing in and out and getting access to the dashboard is gone when I use it.  Luckily I'm testing in on a second page of a blog so I can still access the blog page through the dashboard of the main blog page.  

Blogging on Google

Google..... This so far has been the easiest site to set up a blog page on so maby this is where you should start.
It has a good selection of templates , which are also easy to change .
A big plus for google blog is google analytics ...... with this you can check and see about traffic coming to youre blog , what pages they are visiting on youre blog ( if you have more than one page ) what if anything they are clicking on, e.g are they clicking on the link to youre web site .
One negative is I dont have access to a spell checker when im writing text like this .................it is available when you are typing a post for youre blog.
Setting up links is easy , so you should have no problem linking to youre website , or to anywhere else.
You also have the option of sharing a blog ........... which means you and a friend can work to gether on the blog , or you can give some one who understands certain things like setting up google analytics , rss feeds access to youre blog and get them to do that and then remove there access when they have it set up for you ......... quite handy that.
And more on google blog later.
