customizing your site

I've done a few small changes to my Blog. Some of them are really easy, like the links on the side page, the picture of my dog, Bruno, and the small profile. My banner was made in by taking a screen shot of the home page, getting the dimensions of the banner that was there, creating the banner, and putting the banner into the header customization option. You do have to go into the code and delete or comment out the header that was there previously in the .CSS sheet to make it show up correctly.

Most of the CSS sheets are fully customizable, and if you know a little about CSS you can get a pretty custom version of your site by doing small edits; the hard part is done for you.

If you want to make some changes without being scared of not being able to mess things up permanently, copy and paste whatever CSS section you are editing and comment it out. That way you can mess with the one that is there already, and if you make some changes that you decide you don't want, you can easily switch it back by deleting the edited sheet and uncommenting the section that you changed. I'm also pretty sure that there is a "default" option on the sheet somewhere.
