Summary


Georgia now has a custom Blogger template for her blog that matches her company's logo, colors, and personality.

  • We began by editing the default Blogger template.

  • We chose a layout to lay the foundation for the new template.

  • The page elements of the blog were then styled using CSS and Blogger tags.

  • Custom images were added to the template.

  • All the parts were combined together for a complete look.

  • A third column was added to the template to make room for additional page elements.

Next we will explore how Georgia can use Social Bookmarking to attract more readers and spread the word about her blog.
