Blog Facelifts

Alright. I'm going to post the link to the uber-easy site, that basically gives you an updated background to your existing blog.

I'll also post the site I got mine from, but I take no responsibility for any troubles you have if you choose to go the route I did.

Okay, so the uber-easy site is:
http://cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com/

Basically, once there, scroll down until you see text in a column on the RIGHT side of the page. Those are the instructions. Really easy. Basically you copy her text, and paste over your own HTML text (that she specifies). Then you copy the file name of the background of your choice from her blog, and past it where she specifies. VOILA. New background. You may need to adjust font colors etc, to work with the new BG, but that's simple.

This method keeps all your links in tact. If you have lots of links on your blog, I highly recommend this method, otherwise you have to add them all back by hand.

The one I used is:
http://www.pyzam.com/

Click on the 'Blogger Templates' link on the LEFT side.

Browse through the templates. When you find one you like, click on it. It will have some HTML code for you to copy. Copy it, and paste it over top of your own HTML (in Customize, Template, Edit HTML). That part is easy and works. It's just adding all the links again manually that's a bit of a pain. And I had to spend a bit of time reformating my 'Title' Photo.

Good Luck to anyone who attempts the Blogger Facelift!

And, an UBER-SPECIAL-THANKS to Sweet Tiffany, who researched and let me know how to get rid of the 'pyram' ad bar at the top of my page.

LOVE YOU TIFF!

I've already spent four hours working on new customizations. : )

It's been fun, though. I wish I really knew html so I could make these changes with confidence (rather than cutting, pasting and previewing).

Still, i'm rather happy you've renovated yours as it's given me the inspiration to renovate my blog (wait until you see it!)
